One who makes it personal has already lost the argument.
Not for you because you simply do not get it but…
Since a door should reverse at 12-14 lbs pressure …[fact]if it is set lighter or tighter how will a block of wood know that and what happens when as around here 50% of them are not pressure set.
Most of us here also know that an opener is set for the other direction as well so does the block of wood test reverse pressure as well or is it just a block of wood and I am expecting too much of a block of wood.
Please explain how you set the two directions of pressure with a block of wood.
Perhaps some people have a block of wood in the head and could use that as well.
I can see steam coming from Chuckles head right now.(does that make it bendable)?
Ever since I watched the InterNACHI TV episode on inspecting garages I switched the way I test because there recommendation made sense. I turn my back to the door and face the door opener and catch the bottom of the door with my hands while watching the opener. any flex in the rail and I stop to avoid damage.

The door opener manufacturers likely suggest the wood test, BECAUSE IF IT FAILS YOUR DOOR BREAKS and NEEDS REPLACEMENT. They get a repeat customer. I will not do the 2x4 test as someone could get crushed and the door could pass the 2x4 test, i suppose.
