For one of the orientations, don’t you have complementary angles, so, if you get a straight line with this test, mustn’t you flip one of the boards over and *still* get a straight line (rather than a gap) before you can decide? Of course, to test just the square rather than the shooting board, you just need to knife a line with the square on some scrap wood, flip the square, and knife another line.
