Default Tonal Range? What does it mean?

I see the term "tonal range" used all over the place but as far as I'm concerned it doesn't mean anything. It is undefined and as far as I can tell just suggests that whoever is using the term means they just like the look of the prints they get from the product they are referring to. You might as well say "lovely plumage" which doesn't really tell you anything except they like it.

So what's your take on what "tonal range" means if anything?
