It's well known that all sensitive electronics should be grounded to a single chassis grounding point.

Like I said, this is the theoretical best to obtain common resistance to ground for all electronics, and may not reflect other considerations.

I agree. Just run all the electronics to the same chassis ground for best performance.

I neither agree nor disagree. It depends on the application.

Nobody here said that, other than the people Russ already scolded.
