You are right, but only and only if you compare those two prints out 
side by side or if you measure Dmax.

For normal humans the matt surface gives much better natural feeling, 
the 3D illusion is not destroyed by glossy reflections.

One joky sample - try print something as Boston's muzeum (glossy 
metal tower) with the sky - you may print it on matt paper but on 
glossy you never receive the contrast between "matte" sky and glossy 
building. ;-)
