There's a pretty lengthy conversation surrounding it, too, and this is the top comment:

Fucking thank you. I'm tired of everyone being confused and accidentally spreading wrong information.

Why are people ‘accidentally spreading wrong information’? Maybe because there is no official information? Incidentally, how do we even know that the description in the above is accurate? Where are they getting it from? Did Bungie post a detailed description of how levels and motes of light/light work that we all missed? Or are they gleaning it from little comments in interviews over the past few days and filling in the gaps? It's this kind of thing that leads to misinformation, and it's precisely why Bungie should be explicit about how the mechanics work.

Or maybe people should stop posting images with information pulled out of their ass and acting like it's authoritative.

EDIT: ... and other people should stop believing them. It's all incredibly childish.
