    However student 1 (once hired) will get more raises because he knows how to find the pertinent information in a timely manner. ;-)

...until his manager discovers that all he's doing is asking his colleagues, his friends, and random people on the internet to do his work for him, because he never learned to reason independently in school.

Bah. Loaded question, anyway. The whole learn-it-yourself/use-references-dumbass debate pretty much inevitably turns into one giant excluded middle fallacy.

    I think it's pretty smart to ask around first. Certainly asking his mom ;-)

    Him asking his mom, does not mean he couldn't find it out himself.

    If he can't... then he will have a problem.

    Q: Why did the Perlmonk cross the road?
    A: He wanted to escape the match.
