Response to Increasing contrast with tri-x and t-max

Dan wrote "Using an increase in paper contrast to control what you can do at the exposure and development stage is sloppy craftsmanship at best."

Doesn't he lose values in the highligts if he overdevelop the film too much? I would expose and develop the film for normal contrast and then print on a harder paper if I want hard contrast, but with a nice gray scale.
