True.

But should we go a step further and avoid even using the phrase RF ground?
Long ago I asked an old Zen master about the best way to RF ground my
station. His answer was "What do you mean by ground?" This was the best
possible answer because it made me think about the physics that's going on:
You don't want to seek some elusive "ground" potential. What you want is to
keep unbalanced feedline current out of your shack or at least as far from
your equipment as possible.
