it may appear that way but the geometry of the blade is for a smile so although you took some of the belly out of the smile the bevel does not show that it is gone. If you set the bevel as though it had a smile it will appear more obvious. If the geometry is built for a smile or even smirk it is not easy to get rid of it and keep it gone, it actually would require you to do some crazy honing gymnastics or uneven spine wear.
