I guess it comes down to , how flat do you want your stones.

Maybe it is dished ever so slightly but that still means that some parts of the blade are receiving more pressure than others..
In my experience, the flatter the stone the better the results..

Ha! I did that too Joe. I tried just using the edges and corners, and the stone became high in the center!

My stones aren't dished. The reflection is perfectly undistorted as it travels across the hone face. Like a mirror. If the reflection does not distort, the stone is perfectly flat.
