I have no reason to doubt those who have had problems with their knots becoming loose. It would be interesting if we were side-by-side tying the knot to see if there was any (minor?) difference in the process.
There is at least one common variation of the simple bowline. I don't concern myself with difference because I tie in with the rethreaded version, but if you don't, it may be something you should consider.
"Standard" on left "Dutch" or "Cowboy" on right.
