AHHH, that is what I thought.
Based on the way I interpreted it, I thought someone had a good way to avoid that.

IF you have control of his hips ( Guard), IF you have control of one of his arms ( over hook), IF you have a grib on his lapel and are able to do the choke ( slip your arm over and under) and still maintain his body close enough to controland far enough to get space to do the choke, THEN it is a viable option.
As you can see by the qty of "ifs" it is not a high percentage move unless there is a good skill level difference.

Ah, I see the confusion in my post, sorry, my bad.
I was trying to explain that the cross choke is only viable from the guard but my wording, like my lower intestine, was full of crap and the arm bar reference was misplaced and irrelevant., like Dale's stock shares in the "hair club for men".

How is that a low percentage move? If you're in guard with no grips and your opponent has posture, EVERYTHING is low. Its not a bunch of "ifs" but simple and necessary prerequisites to do ANYTHING whether it be sub grappling, BJJ or MMA.
