Can hammock ropes wear out on the hooks or fasteners?

Hanging Hammocks And Friction

When hanging your child hammock or hammock bed, it's best not to place ropes directly on hooks or fasteners. It's better to use an additional loop of rope. If the loop wears out over time because of the friction generated by rubbing against the hook, you can simply replace the loop of rope instead of the hammock ropes themselves. Use equal or stronger material to connect to your hammock ropes, never bind with a thinner or inferior rope.
