I thought you made perfect sense when you said learn to bowline, it seems implicit that if there is only one thing named the bowline involved in climbing, then learning to tie such a knot is to "learn to bowline." Except that isn't how English works. "Learn to bowline" no more means "learn to tie a bowline" than "learn to shoe" means "learn to put on a shoe", or "learn to car" means "learn to drive." Jay Like learn to fist does not mean learn how to punch some dude inna face?
Not a dude not the face.

I'm not worried about it since I'm just TR'ing, but id rather not use improper technique in my harness. Ill save the mileage and wear out their belay loops instead.
