what does the resonant peak tell you about a pickup's sound?

Saw this spec on Duncan's site, and I remmber us talking about it here before many many many moons ago, but don't remember what it really means. I'd appreciate as good an explanation as anyone has to offer.

The higher the resonant peak, the brighter the pickup. If you look at humbuckers you will see numbers which are lower than single coils. All the hotter single coils have lower numbers than the vintage ones.
