I've resorted to using this on people who have no real interest in looking at my proof anyway. Too many times I've done the research and provided the evidence to the person only for them to ignore it, misunderstand it, or read the first sentence and start arguing again. At that point, I just tell them to Google it themselves since I'm not going to waste more energy if they won't meet me in the middle. >

schools really done screwed up by calling it "research" when you just look up the actual research that someone else did and paraphrase it. >

It'd be research as a noun in the 2nd and 3rd context... 
Which is. "To collect information about a subject" or. "A careful and diligent search" 
So yes you can say you did research... you don't have to be the first hand acount researcher on the base subject. >

having an opinion and then looking for information online to support your opinion is not legitimate research.
nor is the basic act of acquiring new information. >

You are wrong... the literal definition of research is what I posted. 
Don't like it. Tough luck. Still wrong kid. >

I don't understand how that makes me a boomer...  but that is the go-to saying now for internet crybabies to use when proved wrong and butthurt. So makes sense. >

That's definitely something a crusty boomer would say.
And I just don't feel like wasting my time with an old troll incapable of having a conversation without being "right." >

Yet.. here you are... still conversing. >

If you ask me some stupid ass question like why are bananas yellow I will tell you to Google it. But if it's something spesific about my area of expertise, I would be happy to help. >

Stupid is a relative term. But seriously, why are they yellow?
