Yes, thanks to Gerald for adding the missing "voltage point" along the 
line.  If you review the texts, they usually show the variation of 
cycles of voltage along a transmission line.  You don't want your tuner 
capacitor to be force to deal with the peak of voltage at a point of the 
line where it connects.  You extend the line with added length, and you 
end up with the tuner at a different voltage point.  (Or subtract some 
feedline, but most folks run just the length to fit the distance to the 
antenna and that is not practical.)
