I think you're right, the midtones are going to be more or less
"right" to our eye while the shadows and highlights have the more
extreme d-max and d-min than the scene had. Not to mention you
usually get some pumped up saturation with the slide film as well.
What I was mainly (badly) trying to say was that you end up with a
scene that looks pretty much right to our eyes but that has that
extra punch in the highlights and shadows because of the great d-max
and d-min.
