I get the concept -- not wanting to polish out the toothiness of the edge -- but I just don't see the benefit in practice.  If you want a toothy edge, just finish on a coarser stone and strop lightly.  As far as refined edges and tomato slicing, that hasn't been my experience.  If an edge is sharp enough to split a hair on contact, it will sail through tomato skin like it isn't there.

It's also a matter of edge retention, coarse edges function more like a saw or serrated knife in the sense that they retain those peaks and valleys despite being worn down significantly.
