Q&A Slices: What is the point of oblique nibs?

Does oblique medium of Lamy 2000 get any stub-like line variation? What would be point of oblique if there were absolutely none because if the tip is round with zero variation it doesn’t matter whether pen is held like this: \ or this: | (which is what the obliques allow, right?)

obliques aren't for everyone, that's for sure
they do offer a slight bit of line variation, but it's subtle, especially in the medium size
it becomes slightly more pronounced the broader you go, and the crisper it's ground
Lamy's obliques are not crisp at all, they're very rounded
I don't find a very noticeable difference in line width with the OM, slightly with OB and OBB
there's a reason companies aren't offering these grinds stock on pens, because it's very niche and the few people out there that know they prefer oblique nibs will get them custom made
