When one says that a particular hand is too high up in his distribution of bluffcatchers, what he means is, that a hand is too strong to fold.
Thing is, that if one folds a bluffcatcher of certain strength on the flop/turn/river, he should fold all of his weaker bluffcatchers as well. It wouldn't make any sense to do it the other way around→ that is folding strong bluffcatchers but calling with weak ones.
Consequently, when you are deciding whether to call or fold with a particular bluffcatcher, you should always consider its place in your overall distribution. Because if you fold a bluffcatcher that is too high up in your range and then fold all of the weaker bluffcatchers as well, you will end up in the situation, where you fold way too much. And vice versa.
(For simplification purposes I'm using a very loose definition of terms weak and strong bluffcatcher, which includes equity (=showdown value equity + outs) as well as card removal and other effects.)
