Something strange happened to the link in my post above on impact of knots on strength of ropes
I think it is fixed now
On a related issue, an article on the impact of water on strength of climbing ropes shows that wet nylon has only about 30% of the strength of dry nylon when subject to abrupt shock loads, such as a falling rock climber. I suspect the situation is not quite so bad in the less abrupt shock loads seen in anchor rodes. Data on tests would be very interesting.
