Please don't feel like a dolt.
One reason so many of us have said "do a test" is that - we did not do a test before going ahead. So it is a 'voice of experience' sort of thing.
And even after saying that - sometimes we don't do 'the test' - before proceeding - and we regret not having taken a few moments to save ourselves a lot of bother.
