Same as how middle managers can explain work product to their superiors -- they didn't personally create it, but they have grown familiar over time as an intermediary.
- bawolff 7y agoI've never done an oral defense, but surely there is a difference between someone expected to be an intermediary to higher ups who know nothing, and an oral defense where subject matter experts attempt to stump you with tricky questions
