I found that link else where. It suggests that anything anything 4 mm and below is aid only and you should not use them as single strands are also aid only.
I can't tell which is the best knot as my german is well crap.
I am also aware that that article was written in 1997

I think 1" webbing might be good for those thinner sizes as you can slot it in.

I think I will refrain from wizard of Ice. I almost wet my self last time.
Though I am open to suggestions for lines somewhere in the sub 19 grades. Clean falls (for testing naturally) can be done on passive pro only???
