The law of unintended consequences.

The AMGA said you didn't need a stopper knot on a figure 8 if you left 6" of tail.  Since their announcement there has been an epidemic of bowlines without stopper knots. A bowline really needs a stopper. Is that AMGA 6"?

High anchor on a dead tree with a carabiner instead of a knot. Tiny tree with the same thing.
