I was guessing that is what you were saying. Just wanted to be sure.
Can you explain further?
That's the thing about some of the stuff I post. I try to be clear that these individual tests are neither comprehensive or conclusive, but rather just a single occurrence. What I try to do is to explain what procedure I followed along with whatever empirical data I have available. Most of the times both the methods and quality/quantity of the data are, in my opinion, not sufficient to really draw any definitive conclusions, so I can more than understand what you are referring to.
I do that stuff in an attempt to better understand what I experience, or to try and discover why something is working or not working when I sharpen. Sometimes it helps and sometimes not and just leads me to further head scratching. I figure that since I went to the effort I might as well share it with folks and let them take from it what they will. For me it's just a learning process.
What would be really cool would be specific feedback, positive or negative, and/or specific questions either about methods, results or the conclusions I dream up from the experience and data. I mean, everything that I am doing is no doubt a road very well traveled by countless others, probably nothing new, and far better understood already than the point at which I find myself in understanding what I am doing.
So, selfishly, what would be really helpful to me in furthering my attempt to understand sharpening would be if when you think something is ambiguous, or misleading, or incomplete and requiring a richer data set or whatever, to share some specific questions, or possible direction for further exploration. That sort of thing. Or even just blurt out What a Bunch of Crap!
At least then I could inquire, how so? Moreover, it might help me to do a more refined or comprehensive experiment that may better resolve a question. That's what I'm trying to do with this stuff and why I bother to post it.
So, thank you Mr. Jan for you comment. It's truly appreciated! Please continue.
