You don't want unbalanced coupling between one side of the feedline and
something else. That would unbalance the feedline. You MAY not want the
impedance bump that comes with equal coupling on both sides, though that
might be tolerable if you're tuning the line anyway. And you don't want
lossy coupling of any kind.
