I think possibly you misinterpreted Delagi's motives.  Delagi's article
was a discussion of how to get the best sharpness and minimum grain,
using whatever film he could find that would do the best job.  (He
gave very good discussions of developers, incidentally, and claimed to
have devised the formula used in Kodak's Technidol developer.)  I would
think that Tri-X would not satisfy him, since it is an extremely grainy
film!
