Slide film is more tolerable when slightly under-exposed.
  
But, if over-exposed, the diapositive lacks _density_ and nothing you do will
change that.
Less light only makes an over-exposed slide look better in the same way that
candle-light makes us look handsomer.  Our brains interpret the incomplete
data with assumptions we make about the image.

The only way an over-exposed slide can look better in projection, is if there
are no lightbulbs in the projector.

Best,
