I do not agree with that statement generally, especially when there is no
good RF ground connection next to the rigs or the shack.
If for instance you are using an antenna coupler with a doublet and open
feeder then it is best to leave that floating and block common mode currents
to the rig by a choke, if none is already part of the coupler and taking
over that job.

Common mode chokes DO NOT belong between boxes on your desk. As Tom and
others have said. The objective is to get them all at the same RF
potential, not isolate them from one another so they can seek their own
independent RF potential.
