Does anyone here think that the edge is in focus, keeping in mind that it would be indicated by a clear line of demarcation between the dark bevel and the light background below it?

Um.. no. It's clearly not in focus. I'm wondering on a bit of follow up question for you... why are you wasting your time with this guy? Is he asking you for help are you trying to win an argument. If it's the argument - it's certainly not worth your time....

That was my question, it was like he's looking to fail someone. Not cool.
We have a lot of new people coming here everyday. SRP is a place for seasoned members to be helpful and encouraging.

That's a totally valid question. No I'm not arguing with him. I'm trying to help him.

OK - I figured as much. You've helped me out quite a bit over the years so I appreciate your helping this guy. I guess it's just the self proclamation that hits me wrong - makes it sounds adversarial. I would never come asking for help and leading with a line like that.

Good luck with this one!

the first pic shows that the bevel is not set, and this edge will rake the skin off the face.
The second pic shows chips.

If that is in focus for him, he should go see an eye doctor. Or if he did, then he should as for his money back.

Yes, they were before/after photos.

I just borrow from here & there. Most are free use, I use a junk email to sign up.

The bottom photo from page 1 is definitely not in focus on my screen. Can't say if that edge is chipped or damaged, or if it just has some small particles stuck to the bevel near the edge. Personally I prefer a pair of images when I take micrographs, with a couple different standard lighting setups. One lit to best show the bevel surface topography/scratch depth and one lit to best show the apex/edge. Like this:
