I have a question however -- In Plane Iron Testing
by Roger Nixon.
I didn't see any mention of the mouth of the plane being changed. If you use a thicker blade you by default get a smaller mouth opening, which leads to less tearout. So if Roger didn't adjust the mouth to be the same for each blade the findings are not all the suprising -- A larger mouth will tend to make tearout more apt to happen. So, using tearout as a critera is sketchy of you aren't keeping all the variables (other than the blade) constant. Granted you can't keep the wood 100% constant, but the plane setup should be.
