It makes perfect sense to me, I read it as "Very high quality video of the moon". Just like when I can download a movie in SD or HD I know which one will almost surely look nicer even though it's possible the HD version is the same content with black bars around the sides.

But my point is I could also film a 4K video of the moon out of my window using an iPhone, and it wouldn't actually be very high quality. Being 4K doesn't actually tell you anything about the quality of the content whatsoever.
