Yes, that's true. An artifical ground equalizes the voltage
at the ground point AND at the transmitter so both are
voltage minimum (current maximum) points. That's exactly
what an antenna tuner does when feeding a resonant 1/2WL
dipole fed with ladder-line through an antenna tuner. I
hope I didn't misunderstand what you were trying to say.
