If I take a minute to locate the right source for an argument that’s completely fine for a discussion on Lesswrong and even IRC.
It’s not fine for a live face to face conversation.
I think that depends on local norms. In one of my old social groups finding information online was practically expected. It helped that conversations were generally between four or five people, so there could be related tangential discussion while someone was looking something up.
