Omni Shader Hair Thread

This has bothered me for quite a bit, enough to resurrect this thread; What purpose does the normal map serve in Omnihair? Because I've made tests and the results have not exactly wowed me.

Is it just there in case someone wants to try and see what it does?

I am a bit curious. Are there DAZ PAs who model fibermesh hair in ZBrush? Is there any tutorial for modeling and texturing fibermesh hair for DS?
