No, my friend, he is not a "communication expert".  An expert in any field
as standard-driven as electronics and telecommunication wouldn't need to be
told "why standards matter".  He would know it as certainly as he knows the
IEEE and ISO specs he worked with day in and day out for years.

Your professor may be a smart guy.  He may even be brilliant.  But he is
*not* an expert.
