What do you mean by "That's something that appeals to me for the purpose, but I'm prepared to learn here and now that this will have awful unintended consequences." ???

The one that makes sense to me is that the double pass through is essentially a knot that locks the splice and that the full strength comes from the bury. Because it is locked no stitching is necessary. Also, because it is locked at just the right place, it does not need a long bury to achieve full strength.

I have tested this extensively using half of each suggested bury length in a locked brummel and all have held while the failure occurs in the line.
