This is the first time I can remember purposely niggling about something.
Just to be clear. Find only l0ooks in the "specified" directorey (and all
its subdirectories) not all directories.  Not even by default.  That's why
most people showed a cd to / first then "find . ..." the . Representing the
current (ro now top) directory on the system.  Others just put "find / ..."
which will search from the top (root) directory no matter where you're
standing.
