Finally, for one to say ' Although this is my only personal experience with this I've heard that chops in Vegas tournaments are very common and had the impression that the casino normally supports and assists as needed' is a little ignorant.

I probably would have used a different word than ignorant (maybe "ill informed") but it may well be the case that this isn't as common as I've heard. Maybe the casinos where I saw this are an exception (Binion's and the Orleans). You mention a chop at Cesar's. Did the casiono assist in any way or take the "we don't want to know about it" approach? There is a thread in one of the forums (either this one or one of the MTT forums) about a 35 way chop at the Venetian a few weeks ago. I suspect the casino had to be involved in that one as well.
You obviously have more accurate information on this (maybe a long list of casinos other than Harrah's that don't condone chops). Spill the beans and cure my ignorance.
Your "truth in advertising" coupled with the televised tournament issues seem like a much more legitimate reason for Harrah's approach. Isn't this why WPT tournaments disallow chops?
