Dear Oujlakh.

I am not sure if I understand your question. If I did, your thesis would be a good, even excellent thesis, if it answers say to an irritating question, that is, a question whose answer leads us to a better knowledge of the unknown. If this if the case, then you have a thesis. Of course, your irritating question can be said in less than 3 minutes.

Best Regards,

Yes, I guess this is the deal. I think that the exercice could be interesting, thank you for your answer.

There's not much difference between that and writing a good abstract for a grant application that nonspecialist adjudicators can also understand.

Right, so my question is : do we need that kind of challenge?

No, we don't need it. The challenge might be good preparation for various things: it can help you organize your thoughts, learn to communicate effectively, gain confidence, and advertise yourself. But you are a free agent and you can do something else or nothing at all. Maybe you already have those skills and don't need such activities to develop them.

Thank you very much for your help. So, I will keep my energy and focus on academic publications.
