The claim had something to do with a red object staying red no matter
how bright a light you shine on it. I.e. the "value" of the red object
can only become more red, not white when lit. This is apparently more
important to photographers who work mostly with non-emissive objects and
whitish lights.
OTOH, HSL or L*c*h* or Munsell are more intuitive to artists who create
colors from scratch and need them to be lighter or darker.
I don't recall where this discussion took place, but here is a similar one:
