What I have said is that developing two negatives with different staining developers to the same CI will not necessarily result in the same tones on the same grade of apepr or with the same contrast filter with VC papers. This is why I advocate the min time for max black process that Fred Picker described about 29 years ago.
And this is why you are fundamentally wrong in your testing. When you measure something you need to use the same tape measure, you cannot use one mark with cm and another in inches to compare the same thing. It works the same in photography, you can only change one variable to make comparisons.....you fail to understand this and as such your testing is flawed. Max black from min time cna be used with some modifications but not the way you use it.
