Ok, I just presented my topic and one of the panel members was really trying to put words inside my mouth. The person was really focusing on X part of the research and making it seemed that the whole research is just X (which is of course not good for the research : /), where as the actual research is X, Y and Z.

The person commented that I shouldn't be dismissive about it...
