In 2006 I defended my Ph.D. thesis at KU Leuven. Dr. X from abroad was in my defense committee. He had taken the liberty a few days earlier to share with me some of the "fundamental limitations" he had found with regard to transformational systems, such as the system I had designed, implemented, and documented for my Ph.D. defense. (A comprehensive overview of my system later appeared in Science of Computer Programming [1]). Dr. X had already published his theoretical insights and he wanted me to incorporate his findings into my Ph.D. dissertation.
