We used a 2=1=1 knot

In what might be one of the few scientific investigations of knotting,
Stanley Barnes found that maximum strength for angling knots was
achieved with about a 50-60% tensile load on setting (which equates to
maybe 80+% of knotted break point).

That's very interesting. Would you happen to know where i might find that
information in print?

"passive loosening"?

I like that.
