Re: Reconvening the Court of Grammatical Peeves

to hone is to sharpen, as in hone skills, or hone a knife
home in means to to zero in on a target

Not at all interchangeable. Just because something is said or written over and over again incorrectly, it doesn't mean it should be accepted as correct.
