Having slept on it I'd NOT use higher dilutions as I advised late last night
to come up with your A Bath.
To object is to soak up your film with developing agent.
Making your film in effect "developer incorporated".

Ready To be "boosted" later in the B for Boost tank where the development
really takes place. It doesn't happen in the A bath because developer is
relatively inert in a non or very low alkali environment.

Dilutions would only be advised I'd think for regular one tank (a and B
combined) developing
with intermediary agitation so it conks out nicely between agitation cycles.
Or roller where it might prevent the shoulder of the curve from looking like
it's in the NFL. With an ingrown toe.
Ouch !

that was one painful field goal!
