The Answer:
I wouldn't call it a quest, but yeah, with the one coticule honing idea, it was that you could use the single stone, with a slurry stone, to achieve an acceptable shaving edge. I guess you could call it a challenge or a quest or even a parlor trick or what have you, but I think all it was ever meant to be was another tool in the honing toolbox, it's still up to the honer to decide which tool to use

Serious damage to razors (chips) don't count IMHO, and I don't think were ever meant to. Maybe you could hone out chips on the coticule with slurry, but IMO it's outside the realm of practicality.
