Please remember Mr. Miller's term "proprerly lapped stone". And bear in mind that he is considered somewhat of an expert by our forum members.

I initially lapped my DT with a DMT 325 and smoothed it out with a 1k afterwards. Definitely smoother than the 8ks I have.
I feel sorry to let you know that not all DTs get to the 8ks grit even with what you call proper lapping. What I wrote is from my personal experience with more than dozen of DTs. It is not a bible itis just my experience. I had those stones directly from the Inigo Jones personaly picked as I was visiting there on more than one occasion. I even believe I was first person to have slurry stones from them as I had to explain what they are and how they look. That is it. Perhaps I am not respected here but that was my experience and also experience of my friends who have those stones from me.
