i guess...i mean i understand his mindset and if it made a visible difference for the show i would have no problem with it, the thing that really bothered me about it was that it wouldn't affect the performance one bit unless she couldn't slip the knot...so its all downside and absolutely zero benefit.
i mean i totally understand that borden is the ultimate showman, totally dedicated to the act, however the point was this doesn't change the performance ONE TINY BIT, THE AUDIENCE WILL NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER KNOW THAT THEY ARE TYING A TOUGHER KNOT.

if you could slip both knots, why would you choose the one that holds less strongly?

the girl asks for the knot, he obliges
