Hi Leonid,

    You can doubt plastic deformation of crystalline surfaces all you
    want, but it has been demonstrated many times. When I get some time,
    I will pull up the abstracts and post them for you. 

    On a purely scientific basis, I would strongly reject the idea of
    calling the resultant polished layer a Beilby layer as you suggest.
    His theory was incorrect, period. No laminar flow from local heat
    occurs, and that was central to his theory.
