Figure of Nine Vs Figure of Eight - which is easier to untie

For some reason this keeps coming up. Just for the people who still feel that a F9 knot is easier to undoā€¦ā€¦ Get out of that ā€œwe have been doing it for longerā€ or ā€œEverybody does itā€mindset. My teenager talks like that šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚.
Have you ever tested it with equal weights and that timed undoing it?
I have yet to meet the person who has and says the F9 is easier to untieā€¦..
Here is a short demonstration about how much HARDER it actually is to undo. 2 minutes vs seconds.
šŸ“ŗFull video on my YouTube channel
šŸ”Ž For: F9 VS F8 The FINAL Showdown!!!! - Mythbusting knots at The Rope Access Channel
Direct link is here:
šŸ“ŗ Ā Ā Ā ā€¢Ā F8Ā VSĀ F9Ā Ā WhichĀ isĀ easierĀ toĀ untie?Ā -...Ā Ā 
šŸ“ŗ Ā Ā Ā ā€¢Ā F8Ā VSĀ F9Ā Ā WhichĀ isĀ easierĀ toĀ untie?Ā -...Ā Ā 
šŸ“ŗ Ā Ā Ā ā€¢Ā F8Ā VSĀ F9Ā Ā WhichĀ isĀ easierĀ toĀ untie?Ā -...Ā Ā 

Common heard reasons for the F9:
šŸŸ It is strongerā€¦
Knot strength is irrelevant in how we work. If that becomes an issue you are already way, way beyond all the safety factors. You should be taking other measures or use something like a tension less hitch or spliced eyes.
šŸŸ Easier to undo
Already covered that one
šŸŸ My rope is so stiff I canā€™t put a F8 in it.
Fair point, I have no experience with that. Get new ropes maybe? How is that risk assessment? Like I said, I have no experience with that. I would like to test some of those ropes for sure!!

PS
I donā€™t hate the F9. I just donā€™t like the wrong arguments for why you would use itā€¦ And come to think of it, me personally, I canā€™t think of any good arguments (in 97,3% of the times)ā€¦.. šŸ˜‚.

This question is coming from a place of no experience. Could your familiarity with figure 8 knots, compared to figure 9 knots, skew the results?

So when should you use a figure of nine, then? Is there any benefit?

That hapens when you don't use gloves, your hands get hurt by the rope.

My take from this is that a figure of 7 will be even better! šŸ˜‚
