in my opinon BEVEL has nothing do to with sharpness of the blade. Edge does .edge touches to the cutting surface not bevel.
Polishing removes the metal right? as doing so it narrows the edge. makes them come to more close to 'V' shape. and this will increase sharpness.
May be that person was making experiment of chizels axes, knifes etc .
that is different . you don't have to get v edge on them as you know it will get so fragile and useless .

We are saying the exact same thing, the difference is in the amount of steel removed after 4k... Some of you think that there is still quite a bit being removed... Myself and others think that there is very very very little being removed...

The > is not getting much thinner after 4k it is getting smoother
