What does ospf command - no capability transit do?

According to doc cd: "OSPF area capability transit is enabled by
default, allowing the OSPF Area Border Router to install better-cost
routes to the backbone area through the transit area instead of the
virtual links. If you want to retain a traffic pattern through the
virtual-link path, you can disable capability transit by entering the
no capability transit command."

Can someone explain how this is used? I thought virtual links did not
carry actual traffic as a GRE tunnel would, just link state
information...

TIA
