So what's the advantage of "taking the weight off the wheels", something to do 
with suspension tuning ?

In a static sense the wheels are still supporting the weight of the discs (and 
all the rest of the car).

Poorly stated, He means that it reduces un-sprung weight. If the car weighs a ton, and the suspension parts that move up and down weigh 500 lbs, the spring/shock system can't help transmitting lots of movement to the car. If the un-sprung suspensions parts weigh 50 lbs, the suspension can make the ride silky smooth.
