This is not a good way to test the SMC for a couple reasons...
Safety comes to mind first, however, the unit only moves a couple mm before abruptly stopping the wheel (as if using the lever or pedal) a person has no sense of feel pulling that way, nor should he have to apply that much pressure.
Yes, even when the smc fails the function test, a person could still force it hard enough to stop the wheel
Having to use such force would qualify as failing the function test
