Whether it's tying your shoelaces or doing up your tie, many of us use knots on a daily basis. Despite this, research has shown that humans are 'terrible' at judging knots.
The main conceptual idea of the text is that humans are surprisingly bad at judging the strength of knots despite their long history of using them.
Research shows that people struggle to differentiate strong knots from weak ones even when presented with images. This suggests that our intuitive understanding of knot strength is flawed and that factors influencing knot strength are not easily perceived by humans.
