Ok, made me walk down to the garden :)

For those without broadband, the file is huge (2.25MB) so you may not want to wait around for it!

This is one of those things that's much more easily explainable when you have your hands on it, but here you go:

The sample on the left is great soil. All but one of my beds is now this quality...and I have phenomenal earthworm action going on to make it this nice. Usually 40,000/acre is considered a great number...I'm routinely counting 4 Nightcrawlers per square foot...or 160,000 per acre...fishing anyone?

The sample on the right is good soil. Can't complain too much about it...

But if you look at it closely compared to the great soil it's more crumbly even though both have received identical watering. And at the same time, it's material is finer with fewer air spaces.
