why would they be safer as belay loops as opposed to 'rap' loops?
Belay loops seem to be indicative of irregular tensioning. Belays are rarely body weight ( I hope one is not using said loop for anchoring as well), except during falls. Rappels wear harder due to constant weighting, I guess it seems.
That was my line of reasoning, anyway.
BTW, My "rap" loops (harness connection pointS) would be safer because there would be two, contrary to your quote.

I had the ice bath like that guy
I got chicken pox on my 32nd birthday and when my temp hit 110, into the tub I went. Unwillingly, I can assure you.
It worked, I am here today to tell you!
But I haven't watched the movie since....

I never used those loops for rappelling, I just always figured there was a reason they were called "belay loops", not "rappel loops", so I followed the specification.
Not to point any fingers, just a long-time observation.
BTW, he's a guide.

As much fun as we have with the Mounties/Mazamas/BOALPS, everyone has their own level of acceptable risk.
In some sense, by belittling it, we make that not OK.
Which kind of sucks.

East Coast peeps will think it's DC, gotta be more regional.
