Agreed... If I have a question that I really can't find the answer anywhere else, odds are I'm not going to get a good result on SO either. This is why I've only got 2 questions on my profile. One I eventually answered myself, and one with no helpful answer (but someone did make an effort.)

Most of the questions on SO are easily answered with a proper Google search. It's a skill that should be taught.

Which is kind of counter to Jeff Atwood's recent blog post about the role of asking questions on SO.
