Case 40 — Crown operation: when a forum cannot diagnose the resistance · source wording exercise

A description of stiffness does not establish the cause. What information is safe and useful to collect before an inspection?

Review focus: source wording. Retain the source wording beside any paraphrase. Use the original answer fragment “Stop forcing it and arrange inspection rather than trying…” as the discussion anchor; no new event or result is supplied.

Exercise RWI-04055/40: address this question within its stated limits.
