i'm pretty happy that the video demonstrates that a twist in a strap to reduce wind driven vibrational damage is fine. The simple knot test shows that the test can demonstrate lower load failures. the possible only situation where the test may fail to show reduced load capacity is in dynamic loading. I've not seen a difference between a twisted and untwisted rope or slings in climbing equipment dymanic tests, though.
