I added them back in before re-submitting and he removed them again the second time before publishing. At least in my discipline, it's absolutely entirely arbitrary when and how much editors care about it. Usually, they don't. I use it when I think it's clarifying. If it's unneeded intuitively, I'll leave it out. Figure that's the most efficient employment, and I don't think I've ever gotten a complaint from a journal. One advisor with a stick up his ass, yes.
