Is this a clever way around this problem, which IIRC in olden days was one reason for drop outs on tape, because achieving a uniform size of particle was very difficult and very expensive?   Manufacturers had to compromise and go for a larger average size, which affected high frequency response, but lowered cost.  Memory fades, but it was something like that.
