Using Google search as a proving tool.

Example: My brother bought several Fortec Star satelite receivers and install them to many relatives' houses. He becomes adept at aiming satelite dishes. However, he thought the design of the dish did not have the kind of adjustment he needs to make the proper aim. Case in point: when he installed a dish on a vertical post, he thinks the post needs to be bent slightly near the dish. He used a saw to cut half way through the cross section of the metal post to weaken it, so he can make a bent about 10° or so. This makes no sense to me at all, even when he assured me that he had figured this out after aiming many dishes. Somehow he reasoned that the post need to be bent because our location is not on the same longitude under the satelite.

I have not installed any satelite dish but as far as I can see, the dish assembly built-in adjustments gives all the freedom necessary to move the axis of the dish's parabola to hit the satelite. The amplifier (mounted at the focus point of the dish) has enough twisting angle for alignment with the polarization of the received wave. There is no need to bent the post. So I told my brother, if this bent is so crucial to get good signal, somebody should have discovered it and post the discovery on the internet. You should be able to search for it using Google.

Example#2: My brother thinks forex trading is a losing proposition, just like gambling. Well, if this is the case, he should be able to use Google to prove it, right?

Example#3: I remenber the first time I used the Google argument when my brother stated with an air of authority that a good hot pepper (fruit) should have the hot sensation dissipates shortly after you swallow it (or the food that contained it.) I said he is only the expert in his own mind. I don't think there is such a well defined charateristic of good pepper like he said because I doubt there is a chef who would write something on the internet similar to what my brother said.

I don't know if anybody had used the Google challenge to make a point like my examples above.
