This allows it to be used with doubles/twins to a lesser diameter. However, even that has a point at which it becomes less recommended/feasible. That is absolutely false. You have 2 ropes threaded through 2 separate and independent slots. The two ropes have no real interaction with each other. In double/half rope technique, only one strand is being weighted. Your argument is only valid for twin ropes.
Shoo, how about you get some reading glasses.
Ie, 2 8.5mm half ropes, in independent slots on the devices, each giving aprox the same friction...as there is two of them (see my prevision post) you will get 2x the friction as you would only using 1 8.5mm rope.
