Revisions, revisions
Every time I make a revision to my thesis and chop some text out, I stick it into a LaTeX comment. After two cycles of revision with my advisor, I currently have 559 uncommented lines and 894 commented lines. That’s 5340 words of text that are usable, and 7033 words of text that will only ever be seen by me.
That hurts.
Look at it this way, in a year or so you can release the “Director’s Cut” of your thesis.
