BTW, three-strand is often a better choice than braided line if you're dealing with rough pilings and such. Rough pilings will pull the outer braid apart, but will not affect three-strand to the same degree.
I'd also agree with btrayfors about some slack in the lines... swell, boat wakes, etc... will make the boat move, and if it is tied up too rigidly...something is going to give... usually something you don't want...and if enough gives...the boat is going to take a beating.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
