I would have thought just opposite.
 
When the level of the bidding is moderate, one often has stronger bids at
one's disposal, e.g.
1S    1NT    ?
Here, a slow 3S might as well mean "I stretched it but think it's worth the
risk" as "I neraly bid 4S but remembered about what 1NT means".
 
But when the level is high, then you can't modulate your bids and having
extra vaules is more common, as is the case here.
 
Best regards
