I think the term dulling is completely misleading...it should only be limiting.

Here is a visual. There is a large field/pasture very flat but some rocks poking up here and there. Clearly it is a rocky soil. This is your hone.

By raising a slurry, you are taking all the rocks that lie within say a foot of the surface and putting them on top of the soil. Now the field is completely strewn with rocks.

Someone comes along an grabs you and begins dragging you behind a horse across the field, Not a fun time...The only way to improve your "ride" is by clearing those excess rocks off the field (diluting your slurry). The ride will never be better than the field is without the loose stones...Honing on water...the ultimate limit of your hone.
