Perfection loop knot is also a good way of doing it.
Slightly more complicated but stronger and imo gives a better presentation of the loop.

Surely "sorry you are correct" is what you meant to say?

Yes your right its quite ironic really as load testing and calibration of load cells is still part of my job we no longer actually calibrate scales on site as due to bsi regs we have to have an external company in to certify them

does post 22 not give the reason? ok i will say it again with some physical meanings if it makes you happy?, do you agree when something is crimped a force is applied ? well it is
It is unlikely the mechanical force applied to the crimped material (line)will be equal on both sides of the crimp so when a loop is involved with nothing behind it one side of the line will move before the other which can cause slipping, friction and heat and result in premature failure.
When a crimp is applied direct to a swivel or ring etc the slipping, friction and heat doesn't occur the same so doesn't damage the line as much resulting in a stronger crimp.
Also how ironic of your dilusional quote "atm your looking like the normal idiots on fbook who make claims but actually understand none of it"

Your making a lot of noise but not actually backing up your claims which tells me I was right and it’s all bluff

The easiest line/knot test without bouncing the needle of the scales around is hanging a bucket on the line and adding water or weights until it snaps. Simple physics lol
Truth be told it doesn’t matter, because only about 5% of carp rods will exert more than 8lb of pressure on the business end, I happily use 8-10lb mono hooklinks and they very very rarely go.
As citykoi says, if it doesn’t snap with a good tug on these heavy materials it’s generally mustard.
You can check rigs on scales without destroying them too. Just pull to your mainline equivalent bs

Back on topic.... 
Just use Krimps.
It's the best way.
