Yes it really is that sharp at the bevel set

After that it gets much easier, also to much Bevel Set is also a bad thing, unlike other types of honing that raise a burr, then polish that off, bringing up a burr on a SR is a serious waste of steel and time because you went right by the optimum set point..

Often times we call this "Sneaking up on the edge"
I'll have to check what the acronyms mean but number 4 "seems" fine. Looked at it under a loupe and jewelers dealie. However, I guess looking good and being good must not necessarily be co-existant.
