That makes a lot of sense to me. I agonised over trying to see the difference between the zone system N+1 development and simple push processing. My final opinion was that there wasn't any difference. You're simply trying to get the best possible result from an 'improperly' exposed negative.
Michael: My Tri-X data sheet states that Tri-X has enough latitude that a one stop underexposure requires *NO* additional development time to compensate. If it were me however, I would give it 10-20 percent longer time just to bump the contrast up a bit.
