Yes. I must agree with you there. Tirfor rope is not ordinary rope. The radius that it can be bent is much greater than ordinary rope.
Before retiring I have used Tirfors in many applications and have never passed a Tirfor rope through a snatch block or pulley. I have always used a length of ordinary wire rope to pass through snatch and pulley blocks with an appropriate swagged eye on the end. Never use bulldog clamps to connect Tirfor rope to ordinary rope. Use the Tirfor rope as straight as possible and try to keep it out a any mud or water.
