This "silver rich" business has me puzzled.  What do people mean by
this?  What do you mean by it?  Recently there was a comment on this
subject on the Pure Silver list, and the commentator - someone held in
high esteem for his knowledge and experience - said that the "silver
rich" theory is so much nonsense, and that the newer films have a good
deal of silver in them, it's just that their grain structure is
different.

I believe that there may be "more" silver in older emulsions, but I
don't really know. Maybe older emulsions need more silver because the
grains of silver are more random in size and shape than T-grain or
Delta-style films.
