Yes, I remain skeptical, to a degree. I can not say unequivocally that it will or will not jam. That is subjective to the material being used. Pink seduction can only go so far,
, and it may only be skin deep. I can say that in my exploration with my materials, what I experience and determine.
I can say that there are knots that just do not jam, when they don't...
If I were to do near destructive testing, then I would have something a bit more concrete to report. The future may hold some of this, but not nearly as comprehensive as some might care for. Nor as far ranging.
There comes a point, lets say 3 diameters within the nub, where there is so much bulk that a jam just won't happen. But, we've sacrificed streamlining and compactness and possibly introduce detrimental movement under extreme loads. Where this movement occurs there can be harmful friction reducing the sheath/core, fiber's integrity and there goes the unit.
Difficultly in untying is a step below jamming, to me, and this is different for all people. Some have strong hands, some weak, some use tools and don't say, but they untie some beasts. Some ropes or cords deform/compress severely or they can be of a small dimension and make untying near next to impossible and to salvage the remaining length the knot has to be cut off.
Many of the knots in this thread alone, when tied in paracord, will stay there until the end of time if sufficiently loaded.
Perhaps someone can come up with a untie-ability rating system when they do their knot testing.
More pink knots?
