When I ran stock strength Selenium toner, I could see the silver conversion happening before my eyes, so I got an intuitive sense of the process as a chemical conversion similar to putting an exposed paper into developer. The visualization made me feel that selenium toning (for archival purposes at least) should be a process that is run to completion.
I guess others tone with dilute selenium for partial color shift, and uniformity.
