In a word, baloney. The error is independent of length. A zero length

Prove it.
A 75 ohm bridge is expecting the ratio of voltage to current
to be 75 for a matched system. In a 50 ohm matched system, the
ratio of voltage to current will be 50. Therefore, the 75 ohm
bridge won't be balanced. A 50 ohm bridge would be balanced.
