The louder the signal, the better the resolution - right up to the point where clipping takes place. So this is illustrated by a picture of a skyscraper that is very blurry at the bottom, and gets progressively better all the way up to the top, which is clearest.

This is completely wrong. If this is the impression someone has given in a well read book - I am not surprised people are confused. Whoever wrote this simply did not understand :-(
