That's something I also had trouble getting my head around too. EMC 
expert Henry Ott, who retired many years ago from AT&T Bell Labs, was 
they guy who explained it to me. It has to do with the coupling between 
the center conductor and the shield of coax -- when current flows in the 
center, an equal current flows in the shield, and we're stuck with the 
loss of both of those currents.
