Why is two-conductor coax used in EFX loop?

I just installed the zero-loss effects loop board into my home-made 1987. It sounds great and the instructions were very well thought out and helpful.

But I don't really understand why each run to /from the board uses two-conductor coax with the conductors wired together. I assume this results in a little capacitance? Does this result in the shielding being more effective or something? I'm curious as to why the two-conductor wire is used...

Probably because they didn't want the expense of having to source additional coax and had a bunch of 2-conductor on hand already? It serves no legitimate purpose otherwise.
