RE: with a grooveless shiny flat surface?

Regarding:
"Which makes it clear that he understands that the level of modulation in the groove changes the skating force. "
Not so. Average skating force stays the same.(Some claim that VTF is increasing, but it does not seem that anyone managed to measure it. Thus my opinion is that if there is a difference it is negligible.)
By your statement it appears that you misunderstand the purpose and how the test works.

Intent is to produce the same level of distortion in each channel which means that the force exerted at each grove wall is the same, which menas that the antiskating force is at an optimum value. Increased level is needed as different cartridges will mis-track at different levels.
