Please do when time permits, and I will also follow my plan.
We interpret the BESS scores the same way you do, and you have a keen understanding of what's happening at the edge through the numbers on the tester display.
As to yours "I don't really know if my edges are burr-free or not (that's the reason I started this exercise)" - we are in the same position, and gradually improve our de-burring technique as we better our burr detection. We are dealing with micro-burrs that cannot be seen or palpated, and my USB microscope can't see them either. Till recently, real cutting was the only way to reveal those burrs - but as this thread goes on we get methods to reveal them, first in mainstream and now in higher-end knives.
