Aerodynamic tweaks for Eurofighter...

Eurofighter: new aerodynamics set for 2014 test flight - 6/25/2014 - Flight Global

I was intrigued by the following quote:
Laurie Hilditch, head of future capabilities at Eurofighter, says the modification kit should give the aircraft the sort of “knife-fight in a phone box” turning capability enjoyed by rivals such as Boeing’s F/A-18E/F or the Lockheed Martin F-16
I thought the Typhoon already enjoyed an advantage in agility over the F-16 and the Hornet?
