I will say this once, and never speak of it again here:
Numerical graduations of the HHT are, IMO, meaningful only to Coticule honing with slurry and slurry dilutions.
There is no doubt that keenness steadily improves during the dilution stage. This progression is intimately related to microconvexity, and the reason I invoked the H word.
As keenness improves, the force to cut a hair is reduced, by definition. (or at least by my definition of keenness)
When quantifying the HHT test we are attributing qualitative but repeatable characteristics of the manner in which the hair interacts with the blade to levels of keenness.

I would disagree with your entire hypothesis... And please think it through first, I am quite sure you will find the obvious flaws rather quickly, there are multiple ones
