Interesting response. I'd never consider her question cheating. I wonder why. It's like the internet is this collective hive, which I rely on for so much. . . It would be cheating if I try to pass off someone else's work as my own. I believe that. But if you understand the work, the ideas behind it, what makes that work less your own than someone elses? Obstensibly I think that's silly, but then I think of all the times I learn something from someone else who got their answer from groups google and then I start to wonder: who's an author and what's original these days? I'd say the author's dead and the internet killed him.
