to be honest i'm not convinced about this whole claim yet....
The theory is that high frequencies will be reflected by the non-porous surface of the foil. Being that the foil, when struck by lower frequencies, will vibrate as a solid "mass"; it effects the insulation on a grander scale.

Someone will be along shortly with a link to proven test results I'm sure.
