This thread reminds me of a perfect example of this issue.

THIS thread was started by a guy who started a few threads complaining about how his honing was not working. He kept having the same problems with honing but because he had already "proven" that the x-stroke was inefficient by arguing in this thread, he refused to accept or consider that it would have solved the problems he described in his other threads. Lynn used excellent tact in caving in to him. I exchanged several PMs with him in which I tried to help him understand more about honing, and offered to hone a few razors for him, but being right seemed to be the greatest priority. I was not surprised when he listed all of his honing supplies in the classifieds.
