They put a knot in it and let you pull till it broke. Then they put the
same knot in any of the other major brands (you pick) and did the same
thing. They also just let you do a pull test. Due to the little bit of
extra stretch in it, it seem to be much better taking the stress. It may be
crap on abrasive stone, I don't know. It just seemed a lot stronger for the
same test, less brittle.

So it's acting like a shock tippet? That's interesting. How did you do
the pull test? Was it a steady pull, instead of a sharp, sudden pull? If
so, the "shock tippet" theory is probably bogus, and you were perhaps
taken in by some good salesmanship (and a cool hat).
