That clone stamp tool brush seems to do crazy things. In CC, when you reduce the hardness setting, the brush gets larger, although the size in pixels, as seen in the brush panel, seems to be unchanged. In CS5, the brush outline gets smaller as you reduce the hardness size and the size in pixels seems to stay the same. I still don't see it going outside the outer circle as seen when stamping.

When at 100% the tool makes a hard edged circle at exactly the tool
diameter.  But, at less than 100% it starts overflowing the brush
diameter.  It seems to be telling me that a soft brush is a mushy brush.

I tested it by cloning the bridge of a ship to the clear blue sky area.
  I set the brush diameter to exactly the width of the bridge.  But
there were other non-sky (darker) areas outside the brush diameter. When
choosing the source for the clone I chose the bridge.  The cloned area
clearly exceeds the diameter of the brush as it leaves gray areas on the
blue sky beyond the brush diameter.
