I think I was one of fuzzyChops posts or threads. I do remember that one of the members mentioned that he kind of prove another study on stropping wrong. Another member even told him to get in contact with the author of the other experiment/article. Now that I remember I think it was another member that started the thread by asking how an edge look after stropping under the microscope.
