Yes but they sure as heck didn't post Q&A on the internet to make the decision. Anyone that tells you to climb on the rope without personally looking at it and knowing the history is, well. do you really need us to spell it out. 20kn is the only one who gave you useful information here.

VS what, in theory? I'll take in practice every time.

These guys are still alive to post about it: mountainproject.com/v/oldes… and they weren't specifying TR only.

Comes down to the OP - do you WANT to climb on it? It won't break (come back as a ghost and haunt me).
Are you scared to climb on it? Turn it into two gym ropes or a rug.

I can't help but focus on the words "they still held at least one drop". Maybe we have differing opinions on meaning of one.
