Can't provide a source, but my understanding from talking to various coaches and sports specialists is that both are actually true. It's just that most people can't sustain the higher intensities (that burn more calories) for very long, so it's better to keep a lower intensity going for longer, more often, hence the higher calorie expenditure at the bottom line.
