Inclusion of ABoK #2004[edit]

Good to see someone has now corrected the diagram for ABoK #538. The listed purpose of #2004 is the same as for #538. However, #538 is clearly a superior knot for this purpose, since it makes for a larger knot and therefore a larger weight. This strongly suggests that, in most cases, people are simply tying #2004 in error, when they are in fact attempting to tie #538 from memory. I suggest #2004 is moved to its own page and instead listed in the 'similar knots' section, with a note that it is commonly confused with #538. [20210414]

Wrong Images and Tying[edit]

Heaving line knot by Ashley is ABoK #538, but showed up images is ABoK #2004. Another problem that is #2004 is nameless(i guess) by Ashley. Heaving line knot is more like Hangman knot. #2203 is more like Blood knot but with 1 coil.
