I would think that the student is FINDING OUT FOR
HIM/HERSELF. I am not sure looking in a dictionary or
searching a data base is education while talking to
individuals is not.  I know that when I did graduate work,
and some undergraduate work, I talked to experts in the
field and used their knowledge and wisdom in formulating
the things that I wrote.  I learned a heck of a lot more
from them that searching dusty tomes decades out of date.

As well, in a research team enviroment, you better talk in
business or academia.  That is how many new discoveries are
made.

In searching a dynamic language -- and English is dynamic
-- I doubt that there is authority other than the people
how speak it.  Looking at it, my perception of firmware has
changed over the last decade.

Now whether the man found an expert on firmware I do not
know.  However, let us not mistake what an education is. I
would think that an education is more than turning your
brain into standalone, unaccessible "database" in todays
networks of knowledge.
