But even more important, it unravels like a mofo within moments of cutting it. Which is why when you buy it, they measure it out, then put a piece of masking tape around it at the spot to be cut, then cut across the tape wrap, leaving tape on the end of the piece you are buying and also on the length that stays on the reel. If you cut this stuff and skip the tape, the whole thing will untwist itself and unravel very quickly.
But Stabby never mentioned any tape. She just says they cut it with the big knife from the kitchen. Stabby does not say "and then it all unraveled, and it made working with it really difficult". But it would have. Really. No way around that without tape.
I realize this is a small detail, but I actually think it proves the whole rope story is made up.
