I stand by they are extremely similar. I bought 0 extra hones when I bought a razor. I have everything I need. Every stone I have is already perfect for a razor. I even strop my knives on the same leather with .25 micron abrasive.
The goals are the same. My edges on my knives are as keen, and pass the same tests as my razor. The only one that does't is a nakiri my wife bought me made from vg10 which is inferior to shirogami steel.
I don't know why you need to argue to point they are different. It's like arguing sharpening a concave ground gyuto is different then sharpening a yanagiba, usuba, or funayuki. They are but the exact same concept applies, and they are not worlds apart.
Honing isn't rocket science and there are plenty of ways to skin the proverbial cat.
