Seriously, yes, it would be great to gather multiple samples from different knot tyers. This would help remove me from any bias in the data.

It would be interesting to see if others conduct a similar experiment, if they get similar relative strengths between the knots.

Even better, if there's a remote possibility that there's other geeky fishing nerds as me out there, we could team up and compare different knot tyers on the same set-up.

It's ridiculously tedious alone, but a couple or few people working together could probably run through a lot of trials fairly quickly.

This all started when an already unhealthy obsession to get on the Izorline Knot-Tying Competition leaderboard got completely out of hand...
