Is my boss an idiot?

I started my first IT-related job on Monday, having only an associate's degree. One of our networks is 192.170.30.0/24 (and no, we are NOT Hewlett-Packard, to whom this globally routable network is assigned). The boss believes that this, and all the rest of 192.x.x.x, is all valid private address space. The network has been running for years without issues. Isn't the RFC1918 range 192.168.0.0/16????? Not that it matters, since arguing with the boss on my first week is universally wrong even if I'm right...
