any simple joint knot is a loop knot, if you loop the same line back
Q

This confused me.  While we would end up with a loop, wouldn't this result in load on the tag, which presumably might not work so well, at least in some knots?

I don't see a loop here. Are you saying you can do this with one line only to create a loop?

well, yes

instead of starting with two parallel lines, start with one doubled line;
tie a seaguar or surgeon's;  and you have a loop...
one that's stronger than perfection (albeit, doesn't stay open as well)

...but what do I know?  I hate loops & opt for a ring/clip/swivel whenever possible
