Why the knot and NOT the toggle?

Thanks everyone. Now I (and anyone else who has or will wonder) know why the knot and NOT the toggle!

I had this very thought today, but had never actually seen it done before. My thought was that it would probably be fine under constant pressure, but while moving in the hammock, entering/exiting the hammock, etc. that the loading/unloading of pressure on the whoopie loop on the webbing would allow it to slip or worse, allow the toggle to slip out.

I don't think I would trust it overnight.

I'd trust it, just the slightest amount of tension keeps it in place. I just want to know whether or not it can handle it structurally.
