Default Emulating Scrub Plane

When I was at the WoodWorking Show, someone from LN/V showed me how
to emulate a scrub plane. He was using a Low-angled plane with a blade that
appeared to be ground with a lot of camber. Now I'm asking myself whether
it would be
helpful for it to be "dished" as well--or wouldn't that matter because of
the amount
of camber? I intend to try the same idea with my #5 Jack plane (comments
welcome--please!).
Intuitively, making the blade iron "dished" means removing more metal which
seems bad.
