The intent of this manual is that the text means exactly, and only, what it says.
Yes the loop is legal but why does putting the metal ring in the loop make the metal ring legal. When you add tape to the end of the rope it becomes part of the rope as it is still within the criteria of the rope according to the rules. A metal ring does not.

Anyway ask Q&A.
