Why is "H" shape relatively uncommon today?

Hey. so i did some analysis on the OD Benchmarks H and W. I think a data sheet like this is interesting for comparing profiles. I think the discussion toward semantics is silly, but if we are talking numbers then i present you this.

So, what does the data tells us?

  • W shapes differentiates form H shapes by giving more emphasis on “Slopes” over “Rim” on the W. H being heavily ephasized on “Rim” on every axis, while “Slope” gets downsized by “Rim”
  • Surprisingly, H has a larger response area (even by a small margin).
  • Looking at Profile Comparison, is surprising how few are the coicidental lines between the two shapes. This could help us understand that even if they look similar by eye, they are inherently different enough to be called W and H.
