Your quote makes it sound controversial. But reading the linked article it is a rather stupid point to make. As Miller says in the article; they designed the original game to fit on a DVD and so apart from the new content the extra storage isn't used. I mean there is no surprise here. I mean the advantage Blu-Ray brings over DVD is the extra storage, it has no 'magic' effects.
What they could have done of course was use the extra storage space to increase the quality of textures, by using reduced compression for instance. But I assume the original games textures where created with the compression in mind, so just putting them on there uncompressed might not yield a better look. And redoing all the textures to look their best uncompressed is probably to much work.
