Oh... hmm.  Xarax said it was also called the Reever.  I'd never heard of the Reever until then, but I know the bend he first posted a picture of as the Vice Versa, and that is definitely the one Budworth claims to be supremely secure.

I'll try once more : THE VICE VERSA IS LOADED ASYMMETRICALLY,
THE REEVER IS SYMMETRIC.  Look at XaraX's knot's ends --long/short.

Do you understand this?  --same difference as between the Reef/Square & Thief,
which matters in the knots' behavior.  Budworth didn't call any of the knots
shown here "Vice Versa".
