I'm not sure at all what really happens, just know that to hard pressure will mess it it up.
Usually I make it with very little pressure, it takes time but the result is almost always good.
On the hard jnats, 5+ things, I can sit for minutes making slurry, if I press it to go faster it sometimes make a sound like a train wreck and it's all ruined.
Scratches on the hone and a bad slurry, friction is the only culprit I can think of (if I don't know I messed up and tilted a corner of the slurry stone down the hone).
After the slurry making part I sometimes work the slurry with the slurry stone or a piece of scarp steel to make it finer, then I'm sure it's like you describe it, and of course the slurry get worked even more when honing.
I believe the thing that can mess it up are not coarse or fine slurry but lumps of stone breaking free that don't belong in any slurry.Hur Svenska stålet biter kom låt oss pröfva på.
