| Aug 14 at 8:21 | comment | added | UJM | My defense was in French. (The government is strongly pushing for this, you only get to write the manuscript / have the defense in English if an examiner does not speak French, and it is an administrative hassle.) However, I attended two defenses in English (with respectively one German and one US examiner) and I saw no deviation from the pattern I indicate - but maybe those examiners had been "coached" to act in the French manner. | |
| Aug 14 at 8:20 | comment | added | UJM | @AlexanderWoo I agree the starting description is rather long, but I saw no other way to show the cultural context / incentives that lead to my conclusion. Hopefully the OP has some idea of their cultural context, to apply my conclusion if the premises are similar, or disregard it if not. The alternative is an answer along the lines of "in Southern Bushingam woods, we do it this way", which a reader from Northern Bushingam woods cannot use. | |
