When using someone's name servers, it is THEIR responsibility to make 
sure proper glue records are generated.  When it's your name servers, 
you are required to register them.

My domain is lcrcomputer.com.  if I use ns1 and ns2.lcrcomputer.com as 
my name servers and do not have glue records for them in the .com root 
servers, how is anyone going to find the name servers for my domain?

But in the example given, whoever owns example.com needs to create the 
glue records by registering ns1 and ns2.example.com as name servers. 
And if the owner of example.net does not make sure the name servers they 
want to use are not registered, then they should not be wondering why 
others will have trouble resolving example.net.
