It's a term that's used meaning to break in the threads. Tooling wears the more threads you cut. The reason you burnished them is so the threads on the 2 parts wear together creating a more equal contact area for the fastner. This will allow it to get a more accurate torque reading.

Good to hear!
Budhayes was curious also on how to tell the difference and I promised him I would get those up. I've been so busy I totally forgot until I got involved in this top secret junk yard project...
