Why is a surgeon's knot considered better than just tying one wrap, just an overhand loop, for this kind of knot? Why the multiple wraps? ........strength, is my guess. Haven't people tested clinch knots, and arrived at seven loops, or there abouts, as the optimal way to tie the knot? Seems like surgeon's loops would be stronger and weaker, depending on how you tied them.
