For shoelace knots, the difficulty also matters.

I recently about a shoelace-practice book [1] for my 4yo daughter. This book shows a couple of ways to knot, and one of them, called "bunny ear bow" [2] is easier than the traditional "double-loop". I hope these knot-inventors pay more attention to the ease side so that kids can start knotting by themselves earlier. That could be thanked more than inventing a tricky-but-fast methods for adults.
