if that happened i think cratering from belay loop failure might be a fast way to be put out of my misery

fact is that belay loops are redundant, and if you break it then your most likely dead or wishing you were. there are a lot of other things to worry about, like pro placements, old rusty pins, your partner, gri gri's. there are limits, your belay biner is not redundant, neither is your device.
