That fights capacitive coupling and yes will keep the two at the same potential, but: the currents and the charge are so small they pose no danger, and if there is real breakdown 1M will not help at all. So, yes, true and, yes, useless for radios.
For laptop computers with isolated supplies connected to a grounded devices, especially in Europe with its 220V, yes, useful - keeps USB and RS232 ports from blowing up.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
