The problem is that it makes people believe that the suit would feel like a 25 pound suit on the moon. And that isn't the case. In terms of gravity (so, strictly downward force), it's true, but in order to move around (to push forward the whole thing, so to speak) it still feels like 150 pounds, because that's what its mass is.
