Peter ... the paragraph you quoted does not say, as ~you~ said, "... B&W filters work exactly the same with chromogenic films as with conventional B&W films." What Kodak said was that the results are "similar" but it is not stipulated to what degree they are similar. IAC, similar is not "exactly the same." To me, there are degrees of similarity ... but then, I'm sometimes a literalist. I am surprised that you've concluded exactness from a statement indicating a similarity.
Further, the information you present is for but one film. What does Kodak have to say about their other chromogenic films? What's Ilford's experience? Konica's? IOW, IMO, you've but shown us a very small portion of the issue ... and that's not to say what you've presented is wrong, it's just not complete.
