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.)
