removing harmonic balancer... ''Rope Trick Success List'' 200 1987

"The nylon* rope trick can induce all variety of problems...
I said it again folks. The rope trick is wholly risky and can cause problems"

Please cite one confirmed example of the dire rope trick consequences you drivel on about at every opportunity. I feel duty-bound to counter your authoritatively worded techno-babble myths to keep them from spreading.
* Cotton clothesline is suggested, not nylon. That's your embellishment.

To me it's worth noting that these occasional "sky-will-fall" rope trick warnings always come from self-styled authorities who, although they've never tried it, are vehemently opposed despite all the positive user experiences reported here over the years (partial list below):
