That table indeed is a bit redundant.:) I merely put it there in contrast with the first table, to show that, once a bevel is dulled with the suggested technique, these 3 tests become useful for all instances.
I came up with that idea, because I noticed newbies often go to finishing hones with a less than complete bevel. Many times, they end up fumbling on a pasted strop (usually CrO) and manage to get some keenness by convexing their incomplete bevel. After that they have a hard time to understand that they must complete the bevel first, simply because it passes all the tests. If you were to dull a complete bevel with the suggested technique, it takes only very few laps before it passes those tests again. But if you were to dull a convex bevel, if will take exactly the amount of work needed to achieve a flat and complete bevel, before the razor passes the tests again.
The diagram is there to emphasize the usefulness of an at first sight controversial technique: making the razor duck the tests, so they become reliable for the intended purpose.
Thank you for reviewing my diagrams, Alan.
