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.
