When a tree is appropriately wired into the pot, the wire is nowhere near any visible nebari. I would not feel comfortable enough using twine, and you simply cannot get the same holding power. When a tree is tied in correctly, the tree, the roots and the pot are one immoble unit and no root damage is possible regardless of what you are doing. It is easy to teach in person; hard to teach over the internet.
