This is very true. My honing took a huge leap forward when I got a blade honed by Joe Chandler and spent a while finding tests that his would pass and mine wouldn't. Armed with that knowledge I was able to quickly adjust my honing technique to pass those tests, and eventually got to the point where I could read the feel of the blade on the hone well enough that i don't really use the hair-popping test much at all anymore (the shapton 15k and translucent arkansas hones are particularly communicative during honing).
