I received an email this morning to the effect that I must now also submit a rejoinder letter with my corrected thesis for with a point by point defense for each of the points that I did not correct, which Reviewer One had asked for. I was a bit miffed given that my supervisor had told me to change only a few points, and now I must defend his decisions. I should have taken ownership over the corrections in the first place and made all the changes I thought were appropriate.
Funnily enough, reading the corrections list now, there are many that I agree with. The overall integrity of the document seems more important now than merely having done with it. Perhaps it is pride, or something else?
