You’re right. The more I research this the more I’m thinking it’s easier to just ‘test’ the grain first. Some say you can even tell by running your fingers along the surface of the wood (rough or smooth).
The other info is useful to know but I think the easiest way to tell the running of the wood grain is to do as you say.
