I am not saying I disagree, but how do you know what you say is true? It must be very hard to actually measure the curve of the film with the film IN the camera and the pressure plate against the film....especially on the Rollei, as you have NO access to the film. At least on the Hasselblad you could potentially take the back off, and remove the dark slide and measure it somehow... This is also an interesting claim, since it is EXACTLY OPPOSITE to the view expressed in the referenced article on BobM's web site that says if you let the film sit in the back it will become flatter over time... - ----------------
