@clacke There's professional information technology and consumer information technology and public information technology; your corporate document retention and filing system, someone's laptop with the file manager that comes with the OS, and the US GPO system for finding the official text of laws, for example.

So the court is describing a person with professional qualifications in a context of professional information technology. They don't know anything about the Library of Congress.

@clacke If by some chance you can obtain a bound copy of the entire Unicode standard you could thump them with it?

@clacke Generally speaking, a pharmacist can and will inject you, and the pharmacy is much more conveniently located and may offer walk-in service instead of requiring you to schedule an appointment at the clinic.

@clacke They did tow her out to sea in 1997 for her 200th anniversary and then sailed her back in. Whether that's technically ocean-going or not I imagine to be a matter of taste.

@pezmico "Sequestration" is meaningless if it's not on a geological time scale, many millions of years.

We don't know how to do that and the not-obviously-crazy approaches (pull CO2 from the air, make graphite from the carbon, back fill a coal mine with the graphite) not only have immense energy costs, we'd have to be confident some capitalist wouldn't see it as an opportunity to mine the graphite as high-quality thermal fuel.

So, yeah, scam.
