The linked article mentions that the "strong" knot is unlikely to come undone.

This knot will not come undone:

And you can still untie by pulling on one of the ends. Though you have to make sure that while untying, you don't allow the loop to go over the other end of the shoelace.

Yes! This is just about as strong as the standard childhood shoelace knot + double-knotting, but it's faster and doesn't need to be picked apart. I do get it tangled during the untie sometimes, but it's still worth it.

I second this. I've been using this knot for years. It's a bit tricky to tie but still the best.
