Frank: how can you know that a boxlock stock head split down the middle wasn't caused by excessive recoil?

Nothing is for certain when it comes to recoil, wood grain structure, fineness of the heading, etc. but methinks the most common cause of stock head/middle splits on boxlocks is lateral leverage caused by a fall or some other sideways pressure.
