You will soon have numerous strops loaded with grits in the thousands.
When you polish to a very high grit, you lose the "toothiness". If all your knife has is a very smooth, sharp edge, It won't "bite" like a toothy edge. And as soon as that very fine edge erodes away, it won't cut for crap.
Right/wrong, what's best? Depends.
