You've got to admire people who immerse themselves in their work.

The best I've managed is a seven. Others claim nine.

Although these differ from each other, for metals that have much usage in heatsinks all of these options achieve much less emissivity than a paint job does.

I did agree that roughened metals run higher than polished metals - but still low in comparison to giving them a paint job. This is especially true for the usual metals that heatsinks tend to be made of.
