The responses mostly described stressing the mirror before and while
figuring and releasing the stress before installing the mirror.

Your message describes stressing the mirror after figuring to a sphere and
using it in the stressed condition.  The term generally used for this is a
flexed mirror.  See http://www.flexmirror.com
