25. Testimonials The presentation gave an overview of my report but concentrated on certain aspects of it The assessors did not pick up on the things I thought they would […] Nobody picked up on ontological or etymological issues. We discussed in some detail a semantic definition of one of my central terms. We all realised that this will need some further work. In the end, it was much more relaxed than I thought it would be. It was more a guidance than an examination.
