This would not be a useful way to measure hardening in gum; the question
I think (or the question in my mind, at any rate) was whether there is a
way to judge hardening of colloids that works for all colloids that are
used in photographic processes. If not, then there's another argument
for not insisting on a theory of "dichromated colloids" that is supposed
to apply to all of them across the board.
