Well the issue was is  A uni knot tied upside down as per Smudges video is a good knot..
I suggested that its not a good knot as the load crosses the line in the knot at 90 Deg and a proper Snell or no knot 'snell' would be a far better choice.

And thats when and what the  the proverbial hit the fan.
I ran tests and published but seems Smudge didnt accept that as kept on going.

So its a matter at what % each of the knots break at..

 I dont mind having a side completion as interest only of some other knots we both use, as interest.

 I also note the conservation went to ledgers and Figure 8 knots against the twisted loop. I didnt know if was, had never tested the 8 on a ledger so did so and published those as well. Turned out the 8 is a pretty good knot on ledger rig ..

The issue was Smudges upside down uni was a good knot  up with or over far better alternates..
And I prepared to 'put my money' where on Smudges claim.
