For what it's worth, ACRL wouldn't disagree, though it would amusing to see the association try to have a referendum on the issue. The bloggers at ACRLog are just members who blog about their own ideas and obsessions. We don't always agree with each other, much less speak for the membership. If you can get an answer faster through Google than through a database - and the answer is as good - then obviously the database failed to do what it was intended for. Ding ding ding! you lose. I had a someone different experience once. I got frustrated with a Google search on a controversial topic because I got pages of crazy (but apparently popular) rants, went to a database and found an article that looked good, then went back to Google because the article, which wasn't full text in the database, might be online for free - and it was. (Well, I had to register, and now I get e-mails about the publication, but ...) It just hadn't shown up near the top of results for my original search. And, of course, the subscription database didn't point me toward the non-subscription site. I think "just communicate!" is ideal, but I'm surprised at how often I have to patch together different systems to get what I want. Very interesting post.
