I will spend about 15-60 minutes looking something up rather than ask someone for an answer (which will take about 1 minute)

Which will take one minute, but has a high chance of knocking them out of the "zone", and regaining focus can easily take 15-20 minutes...

Right- that's part of my desire to not bother people. But oftentimes at least one person who could help will be already bothered, and so that's not actually a cost (but I act like it is).
