Randomly trolled.. It's only useless info if you aren't able to comprend the information given to you. Engineering lab tests are more than 'useful guides to the real thing' Just ask Black Diamond or any gear manufacturerer what they think of such tests and whether they would consider it with such a dismissive tone.

You seem to show little respect for others who post on this forum and assume that those who are posting have less intelligence as well as less climbing experience than you.

Chosing to use a bowline because of experience was a vague answer to my question - more than likely you're just over it?. But It was the one question that I was hoping you would answer indepth because I genuinely would like to know. What makes you percieve that a bowline is stronger? Or were you just annoyed at the orginal post and thought you would defend the knot you use vermently? That's my 'the bomb' statement.
