Well, it's not as if over-developing film doesn't come without cost. Usually,
shadow detail can be lost, as the exposure time was not suffucient to capture
it.

Although there are times of emergency when one is required to shoot film at a
speed at which it was not designed, but it's best to simply use a higher speed
film when a faster shutter speed is required (personally, if I need a fast
shutter speed I won't bother with pinhole).
