No chop chords in rennaissance, in classical, in old timey (unless emulating bluegrass), in old cowboy waltzes, in gypsie jazz, in most jazz (unless emulating bluegrass), in traditional blues (unless emulating bluegrass), in broadway and show tunes, western swing (unless emulating bluegrass), in celtic, in swedish and nordic traditions, in eastern european and klezmer, ...
I suppose you "could" chop anywhere, but it doesn't really fit everywhere.
I would say the one technique that will let a mandolin fit anywhere is good intonation.
But that's my opinion.
