Watching the video, I was thinking the same thing. He's obviously done that thousands of times, but most of us haven't.

I heard him say that you are polishing, not removing metal, but he didn't talk about the risk of over polishing and removing the hardened metal.

When I did my 442, I did the springs and some lubrication, but that was it. It helped a lot with the trigger pull and I was happy.

Remember he's an experienced gunsmith and knows what he's doing. He doesn't explain too clearly what, were and how the small parts surfaces are that he's honing. Doesn't explain what grit of Arkansas stone etc. I know what he's doing and I can also do it, but I'm just saying, unless you have done this a few times and have gained experience, be careful, it's not for amatuers! Most guys just do the spring kit change.
