It sounds like that either you where slinging horns when there was other / better ways to protect your climbing OR you where slinging the natural pro incorrectly.
You don't know what you're talking about. I'd sling a bomber horn over placing a piece at any opportunity. Natural, bombproof, multi-directional pro. What more could you want? Plus, you don't unnecessarily deplete your rack, saving pieces for when you might actually need them.
From the OP's description, it might have been preferable to girth hitch the knob, rather than to drape a doubled sling over it, but without seeing the situation, this is just speculation.
Edit: GUed on the girth hitch comment.
