I suppose it’s pedantic to be annoyed that he’s calling this an “Ian knot” when it’s the standard shoelace knot, a slipped square knot, and not anything new.

The change it in how you tie it, not in the resulting knot.

A knot is not just the end result though, it's also how you tie it.

That is incorrect. The final position is what determines that knot. There can be many ways to get there, but they are all considered one knot.

Search for how to tie alpine butterfly for an example of a knot that are many ways to tie, but all are considered the same knot.
