diminishing abrasives in steve's ssr line

How is it that I can use ssr1 or ssr2 by hand and not get any marring when these products contain diminishing abrasives? I've used both products by hand with great results. No micro-marring. I thought you need heat, mainly that of a rotary, to generate enough heat to break down the abrasives which result in no marring. If you don't generate enough heat the abrasives don't break down and you'll see scratches. Is it because ssr1/ssr2 aren't that much abrasive to begin with? The higher up you go in abrasives the less you can do by hand?

Here's an example of what I'm talking about:
On meguiar's #84 compound power cleaner, and #85 diamond cut 2.0, meguair's states that these products be used with a rotary only. If you use these by hand you'll get marring because the abrasives won't break down. I've never used these products, as I'm going by what meguiar's has told me. Again, is this because these products contain so much more abrasives than ssr1/ssr2?
 
I think it depends on the type of abrasive; chemical or mechanical. You may be generating enough heat to break down the abrasives by hand. I have a feeling that the abrasives in SSR are chemical, but better check with Steve. It they
 
Perhaps it depends on this: at what temp will the abrasives will fracture or breakdown.

Could be Steve's products fracture at a lower temp 'cause his SSR's are being used by hand as well as with PC's & rotaries.

Put your hands together like you're praying & rub them together for about 5 seconds ...... I feel heat & that could be enough to make the SSR products work.
