It wasn't a shot from the hip, it's plain good engineering sense.
If I had a nice twisted pair wire, I'd probably also have a nice
piece of COAX as well.  However, what I usually have is phone wire,
which does not have constant electrical characturistics at all.

People who cheap out and run RF over phone wire, are eventually going
to lose.
