What W9CF said was this:
"As noted by Roy Lewallen, W7EL,[2] putting a choke balun on the input of an
unbalanced tuner to drive a balanced line is useless. It introduces a
``hot'' tuner case which must be isolated with no benefit over putting the
balun on the output."
Introducing a hot chassis full of CM current isn't trivial.
