The Trouble With Circular Reasoning Is.... (!)

*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
Dorlir and Marty Sears have teamed up to create a sudoku that, despite its 96% approval rating, is "criminally underrated" according to one tester. This is indeed an absolutely incredible puzzle that builds on the works both setters have done previously. Be prepared to question your own brain!!

Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Draw a loop (one cell wide) of orthogonally connected cells, which does not touch itself, not even diagonally. Each digit on the loop indicates exactly how many times that digit appears on the loop. Eg: If there's a 5 on the loop, it means there are five 5s on the loop. The loop must pass through the bulb of every thermometer. Digits along a thermometer increase from the bulb end. Digits separated by a white dot are consecutive.
