I think, and I stand corrected, they are not talking about the
compression model, they are talking about the a listening "model".  They
are saying that the ear is better listener than a "linear system". 
Consequently if you have a compression algorithm that  assumes the ear
is a "linear system" and then removes things a linear system can't
"hear" you'd be removing things the ear can actually hear.  I have no
idea which compression algorithms are assuming the ear is linear.  I
also don't know what "linear systems" mean in terms of
listening/disntinguishing notes.
