The blades are hollow-ground to make sharpening easier.

They're not hollow-ground (on a good one anyway), they're forged that
way.

An often-asked
question is what to do when the blade is ground down so far that the hollow
reaches the cutting edge.

Depends on whether they're ground, or they're forged. Either flatten
them, or tap them out (read Toshio Odate for details).

This is actually not a problem - regular
sharpening and honing of the face moves the hollow back

No it doesn't.

Yes it does
