try this example:
-create a sphere
-select all the edges
-right click -> hardness -> soft
-hit shift+Tab
You 'll see that the sphere is smooth.
now do the same thing but choose Hard instead of soft. hit shift + Tab again. You'll see the sphere is faceted now.
What soften does is , it averages the normals between the faces to give it a smoother appereance.
