That assumes Harry has actual familiarity with Latin rather than just grabbing a bunch of references.
I think it's been mentioned before that he sees personally learning Latin as the obvious way to find out what Bacon's diary says.
Yes, it does. (Though ... this looks to me like an Eliezer-reference rather than a Harry-reference; the thing being referenced is a year or two too late for Harry to know it.) I'd expect MoR!Harry to get something like this right -- but then I'd have expected realworld!Eliezer to get it right too, so maybe I'm unrealistic.
