"entirely satisfactory"

So, I gave a talk the other day about my research work -- mass spectrometry data analysis. And, since this is an exercise for students to present their work to both biological and statistical audiences (which is a real challenge and i didn't quite pull it off), I asked my supervisors and other lab heads for some sort of feedback. My main supervisor (Terry) described my talk as "entirely satisfactory". Not exactly flattering, but maybe that's the closest I'll ever get to a complement from him. Not sure. It's one of those statements that is so vague that it really doesn't say anything positive or negative. And, from what I can tell, Terry is very deliberate in everything he says and does, so I'm not sure what to take away from it. Thankfully, I got some constructive criticism from the other lab heads, most of which was a repeat what Lynn had already told me. I credit Lynn with the overall organization of my talk. We spent a "romantic" Sunday night at work going through it.

In case anyone is interested in what I do for a living, which can roughly be described as "making pretty pictures of experimental data", a rather large PDF can be downloaded from here.
