Such a knot wouldn't work with a linen string, the string would break at the knot

I know I won't ever do a hitch knot on a linen string anymore, at least not on a heavier bow, it always wears the fibers down and breaks.
"The way of heaven is like the bending of a bow-
 the upper part is pressed down,
 the lower part is raised up,
 the part that has too much is reduced,
 the part that has too little is increased."
