Keep honing on the same slurry while adding one drop of water (to prevent the slurry from drying out) every thirty or so back-and-forth strokes for five/ten/fifty thousand minutes and test for sharpness again.

My bet is that you will see no significant increase in sharpness. That is slurry dulling. That is why you dilute. On slurry, there is a plateau when an edge will not get sharper without diluting.
In your thoughts the edge reaches a plateau and remains there. I see your point. But then why is this called dulling?
