No matter how bad the writing was, this is not a good thesis supervisor! It's funny to read the sassy reply, but I'd hate this professor...

Even doctoral students are still students and are there to learn.

A better review would have been something like "There are severe issues with the structure of the text" and then refer to an external resource on technical writing...

I would love such a frank but witty feedback like this, though. Better than ones that humourlessly punch down on your inexperience.
