Hi Alan,
yes, this was new to me too. In another mail Grzegorz Goryszewski have just posted a link
to an article by Alex Gorbachev, which seem to confirm that too:

Quoting it:

Traditionally, it’s common to assume that the closer to 100% utilization a device is, the more saturated it is.
This might be true when the system device corresponds to a single physical disk.
However, with devices representing a LUN of a modern storage box, the story might be completely different.
