since false gates are shallow, and the round tumblers have no center axle, think of a round disc in a can/cylinder whatever that has an obstruction at one point on its circumference, that disc would tend to rock back and forth, if a tool of some kind pressed on one side or the other of this hung up area.
would a true gate have just a different feel?
you could put a tumbler in an otherwise empty uh do ya call them plug or cylinder or whatever it is, and then with the sidebar in it, one could just test the difference of the feel of that disc when it was in the false gate and feel a difference from a true gate, which might have enough play in the fit of the sidebar, or if that hung up too, it would be a different amount of play, to feel it
Wake up and smell the Kafka!!!
