Ahhhh, ,now I understand where you are coming from. I did teach that method while I was guiding.
What you are refering to cannot apply to the OP's question, where he is using two bolts at a gym, rather than a second rope to a node point.
I think the confusion is resulting from the fact that the method you describe involves a second rope to create the anchor (threfore everything should be redundant) whereas a bunny ear / dog-ear involves using the main line which CANNOT (and doesn't need to) be redundant using single rope techniques.
Oh, and to avoid confusion in the future, you are describing doubled figure eightS, rather than A double figure of eight
