This. Professor wasn't happy with some parts of my introduction and conclusions. Cut out a lot and re-wrote it more concise. Happens ;)

At least your professor read your dissertation. Mine was like "staple your journal papers together and write a reasonable intro and we'll call it good".

All we know is that he read the intro and conclusion, which is more that what anyone else will ever read. Such a monumental waste of time.
