Response to Different Exposure index

"Doremus, I question your comment that overexposing by a stop is going to increase grain size."

Overexposing silver image B&W film increases grain. Do a test to see for yourself. Take two shots of the same subject, one over a couple of stops, and print. High density areas of a negative have more silver grains closer together, the easier to clump together.
