aw hey Flying Spice, please don't think you're not welcome here. A lot of students come to this forum for advice, and it often starts a debate that we can all benefit from. I think what was meant was that the most appropriate person to ask for guidance is your own instructor who was there at the time. Sounds like he/she MAY have misjudged the situation, but hey we all make mistakes, we just don't all admit to them! Good that the detail was ended so that the aircraft coud be checked out following the bounce.
It's the lessons where things go wrong that we all learn the most. Good luck!
