What I'm saying is that any knot which does the job, and which you find easy to tie, is the right knot.

Yup, if you are not breaking off fish very often then you are using a knot which is good enough.

When I am using a two or three fly setup I like to use a weaker knot on the nymphs than on the dry fly. That way my dry fly is more likely to stick around when I loose the other fly to the rocks and submerged sticks and branches. I have less to tie back on. Also the tippet breaks at the knot rather than some where along the length of the tippet.
