I think it helps our credibility. It shows that we've done our homework.

If we just went ahead and used nylon rope, there would be those who would dismiss the entire project as bogus. They may be completely unqualified to make such a judgement (e.g. reporters), but they'll make it anyway.

If part of our presentation is that we've carried out experimentation using replica neolithic rope and have concluded that it would work just as well as modern rope for the project, then we have provided a reasonable justification for our choice of using modern rope.
