Thanks for the explanation. I wonder if the ripping frays and opens the edge, explaning the sealant soaking action of the tape, and perhaps causes adhesion problems at the edge?
If people want to trade off increased hassle to save $20, that's fine, but my beef is with then jumping on the internet to kvetch and crab about how tubeless sucks and how complicated it is without accounting for how they half-assed it.
