That is absolutely terrible advice.
And you suggest? Oh let me guess... come into our store and get brand new lines. Safe as houses!
Take knots out of lines STRAIGHT AWAY.
Replace lines when worn, we see some people going through a lineset in a season. 4 years is far from "relatively new".
Most certainly safer than "don't worry about knots in your lines as long as they are less than 4 years old"
Of course take the knot out, but my point was a knot is not going to suddenly pop a line, unless it's been used and abused.
Untie the knot and keep using the lines.
If the lines are starting to fray and show bits of rope splitting, then by all means -
get a new set.
Is that bad advice still?
