I learnt it from Nicolai when he gave a little talk at CSL 2017 when
given a prize for his thesis.
The counterexample or rather my appreciation of it I have made a little note
on which I have put for convenience at
https://www.mathematik.tu-darmstadt.de/~streicher/kraus.pdf

The point is that interpreting HoTT in sSet is very different from the
traditional interpretation of logic in sSet. The same happens already
the topos of reflexive graphs. Propositions are connected reflexive
graphs and thee are very man nonisomorphic such guys but HoTT
identifies them all.

But this has nothing to do with HoTT per se. For example you can
interpret HOL in assemblies in two very different ways once `a la
topos (proof irrelevant) and once `a la  model of TT (proof relevant).

In mathematics equality is a very relative notion. But one may perform
quotients to reconcile them...
