Why clip through the plastic loop instead of the sling? If the outer lobe is unloaded I'd imagine clipping the sling would behave as if if the sling running to the outer lobe was simply cut, in which case the force is applied directly to the plastic loop as your demonstrate. The difference I see is you're clipping slightly closer to the lobes which means you can step higher in ascenders, and potentially a smaller moment arm if the cam is not aligned with the direction of applied force.
Clipping the sling would apply a torque rotating the cam, clipping the "plastic loop" or more appropriately the steel cable covered in plastic, apply force only on those two cams, without trying to turn the axel
So amazing. Just ordered 4 sizes. I'm guessing I'll end up with all of them eventually. Black and Organge, come to the US
You can find the black and orange on US sites occasionally. Took awhile for me to find them but it was worth the wait.

Can you build an anchor with a two or three lobe placement?
not ideal but depends on the chance of a fall from the second I guess.
