Is there any industry standardization of lead hardness? Is there a device or technique to measure where on the HB scale a lead falls?
Can a 2B not be a 2B (sorry Shakespeare)?

M: I came here for a good argument.
A: No you didn't; no, you came here for an argument.
M: An argument isn't just contradiction.
A: It can be.
M: No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.
A: No it isn't.
M: Yes it is! It's not just contradiction.
A: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.
M: Yes, but that's not just saying 'No it isn't.'
A: Yes it is!
M: No it isn't!
My experience is that 2B (or other grades) is not always the same hardness. Not even with the same manufacturer. Not even with the same pencil type of the same manufacturer (!).

Therefore your Shakespeare analogy "2B or not 2B" seems to be true as far as pencil leads go. LOL
