If  you disagree, please provide the goods, i.e. a recording that 
demonstrates  that your bent and overblown notes sound just like the unaltered tones.   
If you can't do that, then you ain't got the goods.

       I agree with what Richard on most  of this and I don't want to start 
the snowball on it's roll down the hill  but I just gotta say, at what point 
will this perfection of hitting notes that  are true end? The nuances of the 
harmonica is what's cool about it. I know  for me (this is just me) when I'm 
playing for the love of it (most of the time)  I never pay any attention to if the 
not I bend is spot on or not. Given a decent  ear and being as diligent as 
you can about practice for years, most of us when  it comes down to just laying 
back and grooving, naturally hit the right notes  without even thinking about 
it. If I wanted to be EXACTLY, dead on, with the  note that I'm playing as 
soon as it is played I'd just play more keyboards.Trust  you ear I say.
        Love your harp and it will love  you back
