However you can have polished sharp edges, Seems to me polish is just more heat reflective, and that would likely be a small power boost, but only as long as it stayed reflective, wonder how long the dyno tests lasted that showed a boost.? What kinda of fuel, ie carbon/lead buildup? If coatings don't last why would polishing? 
the coatings do last. they are a ceramic heat barrier, unlike simple polishing.
After rereading the OP, I misread the point of coatings not lasting is due to the polishing, so that means the issue to me is, does the alledged reduction in surface area thru polishing out weigh the benefits of a thermal heat barrier, or something like that?
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
