Be careful when  you state this definition as a fact.  The two 
terms PWB and PCB have been used interchangeably in this industry 
to mean the bare printed wiring board.  Although, the IPC-T-50 
defines a printed circuit board (PCB) as a printed wiring board 
(PWB) with components mounted on it, that may not be the way it is used.
Old habits have a hard way of dying.

According to IPC-T-50, a printed circuit board is a printed wiring board 
with components mounted on it.

IPC-T-50 is the industry standard for terms and definitions.
