I have no doubt but that you are correct. However, my experience with 
most forms of silver printing, including kallitype, salted paper, and 
VD, is that the differences one sees with some of the other variables 
(type and strength of fixer, wash time, toning or not, exposing 
light, etc.) on the same paper are so great that comparing papers 
without close consideration to other factors virtually meaningless.
