Relax my friend,
"introduction questions" or "opening questions" are a tool
to comfort people. Imagion a job interview where the applicant is asked
"Did you find your way to here?" It makes answers possilbe like
"Yes, the route description was clear" or another easy reaction.
It starts the conversation.

Search engines can help telling that a person is vocal.
You still have to judge yourself with which intensions a person speaks.
