I think it's more that there's this curve in your experience level where as you start out, you have no idea how to contextualize error messages outside of your code, so you just pick the thing that seems most related to your particular problem and try to Google it. And newbies are very bad at picking the relevant bits, so searching for the errors they are seeing often doesn't help them address the problem they are actually trying to solve. As you gain experience, you are able to pick out the signal from the noise and so going through the errors you seem becomes a valuable exercise.
