N6BV has shown quite convincingly, and  I confirmed his analysis, that 
there are many conditions that, depend upon feedline length and severe 
mismatch where even the most robust conceivable choke will fry with high 
power.
The problem occurs when the SWR is quite high --for example, an 80M 
resonant dipole loaded on 40M.
