Nope not buying into that Russ. What I meant in response to Pondering Turtle regarding intent as a different subject is much what you are saying. Example: Depending on how you use a given stone you can produce a variety of finishes -that would be polishing.
It was said that beyond 2000 one is only polishing. As you pointed out, the dimension of the edge is continuously decreasing; you are trying to create a very thin, straight line of crystals- that is sharpening. I think if you looked up the definition what is referred to as "polishing" is perhaps the proper definition of honing
my list: 0-800+ ( erosion stone)
>1000-16000+ (cutting stone)
>20000-40000+(zen stone)
It's not even that big a deal, even to me. Even in the catalog fine stones are called "polishing" and "finish"
Ok now can we define: loading; glazing
