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.
