| I'm not an expert on darkroom technique by any stretch of the 
imagination, but I'm pretty sure it means that the contrast in the 
various layers of the film emulsion aren't analogous to each other. In 
this case he's saying that the blue layer may not be exposed properly 
unless you slightly overexpose and that trying to make a print where 
the contrast of one layer doesn't match the others will produce 
unwelcome artifacts. 
Or I could be completely off-base, like with that whole, "Aren't you on 
mainland China?" thread a few days ago. ;-)

Sorry for asking a generic photography question, but, what do
you mean when you say "crossed curves"? Also, is this a good
general practice for such negative films, regardless of light
conditions (for instance, shooting daylight sports with 400 to get
a fast shutter speed on a slow and better-shut-down lens)?
