What exactly is a reduction print and why is it used in descriptions on sites as if it’s some great selling point? Aren’t all prints smaller than 35mm reductions?

Reduction:

A 16mm print made from a negative which was made from a 35mm release print. Quality is dependent on the source material and the lab doing the work. It can range from worse than dupe to better than original.
