They might have been talking about using it to actually sharpen ???? That is all I can think of......
I have heard to use a round steel, like the screwdriver, to lapping an Arkansas stone, to smoothing up Barber's hones, all these to tame the Diamonds before using one to actually sharpen an edge...
