Quite true Jim. In this case Eric is saying there may be a leakage path through a relay. That doesn't affect how RF behaves in coax, but if that relay is leaking RF it can explain how controlling RF leakage elsewhere, such as by using coax, might not help.
In both cases, theory supports reality. As you said, one must know enough - not just about electronics theory - but enough about the situation to understand what to expect.
