regards Stewie;
I must have a read of that later.
I have been able to get thinner consistent shavings with the close set cap iron, so would argue that a plane what's truly flat will have a more noticable effect in use compared to using other techniques like back bevels, or higher pitch.
I don't think its worth its salt on the scribble test, if this is not the case.
Don't know if hes still using BU planes, or if he's wrote the article since then, but I see shavings indicative of this being the case.
