It's not really a question. There was an obvious visible distinction between my honing scars and the previous bevel. The only way that happens is if the razors edge has been brought in (through the use of tape during honing). Upon a level honing the bevel corrected at the heel and toe almost immediately, due to there being almost no edge regression at those points. The center however did not. It required more than ~2mm (flat) of spine to be chewed away before I was able to even touch the bevel beyond it's interior edge through level honing.

Above statement is true
There really is no way this could have happened outside of what I postulate. He taped the edge and brought far too much weight down at the center of the razor. The tape on the edges absorbing it (due to the differences in the physical response tape takes vs steel to pressure), while the center tape merely compressed, multiplying the pressure by focusing it on the center edge.
