I can't argue with that Brion, but if there was a different knot that could be substituted for the diamond knot to preserve more strength that would be even better. My question isn't directed at if soft shackles are good enough, they clearly are, and being able to use the same line for a sheet and the shackle it attaches to is nice.
I guess I am just trying to improve a already great system (as compared to metal shackles)
