Then the next mention that moved it into the realm of "Honing" was Bart and the Coticule guys, and even then it was at the bevel setting stage

That painful vid from the Shapton guy moved it into the high grit ranges using some ideas from tool honing

After that the Iwasaki misrepresentation has moved the idea into normal honing regimes

What is being talked about now is an adaptation of Cross-honing, as a way to eliminate deeper stria and again is old news..
