That brings us back to the discussion point FLASHING:
Kodak claims the following:
*Flashing Camera Films.* /Flashing camera films to lower contrast/ is a
technique , that involves the application of a uniform exposure to a
film before processing to lower overall contrast of some color films. It
is actually an intentional light fogging of the film. You can make the
flashing exposure before or after the subject exposure.
So, if it works "with some color films" AFTER exposure, it should work
with B&W paper after exposure, too ?
