My considered opinion is that Rolando is talking about covering the entire reflector.
That's based on my knowledge of tulle which happens to be a very porous (for lack of a better word) material. It's kind of like very fine fish net, a sheer fabric to be sure. Lots of open spaces for light to get through, but to a viewer it appears to be a color.
Covering the reflector would not prevent light from bouncing back off the reflective surface, but it would knock it down a bit. Also the material color might be easier on the model's eye.
There is a whole school of thought that argues that photographer's must wear black shirts when shooting... but I don't want to get into that discussion. Been there, done that, got the souvenir to prove it.
