I don't "lack the knowledge" that nylon has much more elongation at ultimate tensile strength. The idea was that nylon is cheap, and this would be "spare" line, which would likely never leave the locker. Even if it was pressed into use, I doubt that a couple of poor setting halyards or a loose outhaul would doom the voyage. Maybe it would make more sense to invest in extra running rigging of a quality that I would want to use. That way my spares would eventually become the new lines, and I would purchase new "spares".
