I clarify: A good SA doesn't *need* to use Google.

Google is certainly a useful tool for finding information and works best
when you know what information you need. A good SA knows what information
s/he needs, what to ask the Google, and usually s/he knows how to find the
information without Google.

Google will not, usually, give you the answer if you don't know the
question. This is what I call "Google-guessing": blindly poking around
discussion group and mail archives looking for clues and/or cut-n-pasting
commands and scripts without knowing what they do. Sometimes that works,
but it isn't the activity of a good SA.
