I believe Joe meant to say "...higher impedance results in lower currents..."
--[snip]
Within limits, most tuners are better able to handle high impedance
mismatches than low impedance mismatches because losses tend to be
resistive in nature and the lower impedance results in lower currents
and thus lower (I^2*R) losses. The lower current is also why parallel
wire feedlines tend to have lower losses (particularly with high SWR)
- again there is much less resistive loss due to the lower current.
