I understand why these skills need to be taught, I simply agree with alzee that the response of "what if you don't have a calculator" is stupid and kids can see through it. Explaining it to them honestly, such as how your reply explains it, would make more sense to students and would more likely lead to kids putting in the effort. it certainly would have motivated me, more so then a half-hearted excuse.
(I also agree with alzee that "Being able to know how to search efficiently is probably the most important 'life skill' people living in modern societies need to have," even if other foundational skills are still worth learning.)
