I can understand that a 25ASA film will be less sensitive to 
exposure errors expressed in units of time than a 200ASA film
is, all else being the same (which it may not be if we're 
talking night photography, because they may have different
reciprocity failure characteristics). But this is because for
the same aperture, you need longer times with a less sensitive
film, so adding one unit of time will mean less in percent of
total time.

But doubling the exposure time increases the light absorbed by 
the film with 100%, irregardless of how sensitive it is.

If someone says 25ASA films in general have a wider latitude
than 200ASA films I'm willing to believe it, as I don't use
such slow films.
