For clarification: it's the same knot (square knot), just a different way of creating it.

Is it? From the animatedknots link:

> The difference is that the loops are NOT stacked under each other ... The loops are passed inside each other

I feel like the way we discuss knots is way too clumsy considering how old and important the topic is.

How do we live in a world that has something as successful as regex, yet we don't have similar for knots?

Yes it is - look at the end result.

The "not stacked ..." part compares it to the clove hitch, which is another knot entirely.
