I think we need to draw a line here between static/semi-static and dynamic rope applications: Rescue/Caving/Abseiling using semi-static or static rope and large (>>100kg) loads - ropes exposed to catastrophic-failure type shock loads e.g. factor 2 onto re-belay after top anchor failure - ropes breaking in the knot may be an issue. Rock-climbing with dynamic ropes - ropes NEVER can be broken, only cut.
