But as #1 in gssixguns post states these aren't really HIS observations! they are pictures from a different web site that the OP has linked to but before I clicked on the link (which I did AFTER seeing gs's post FWIW) I assumed the pictures were the OPs and and the link was to HIS web site including the same information of HIS findings.

I think also what is being said is that while looking at a magnified edge/bevle is all well and good you never really know how or how well a stone performs until you put the steal to the skin! So use the photos not to judge how well a stone has done at honing but if you are on the right track and done have burr's and other anomalies. (glen please correct me if I am wrong/misinterpreted your post)
