8x10 shooters, can HP5 come close to Tri-X 320?

Edit: Never mind I found it in Hutchings’s book. I knew I had seen that before:

“A stained pyro negative, because of the continuous tone effect of the stain, prints fog like a cool liquid - a seamless watercolor effect that baffles the senses…”

And readily achievable with regular (solvent) developers and basic process/ exposure controls... Especially when most of these claims of mystical characteristics of staining developers are based off 3-4x enlargements, and never compared to negs developed conventionally to lower CI's.
