Doesn't need to be. The idea is to get two or more data points so that you can interpolate, or just use them for direct comparisons of welding techniques.

We're also hoping that slip-fitting it will reduce some of the expansion issues.
Yep, inertial and vibration as well as thermal expansion/contraction and engine movement. Slip fits are good for thermal expansion, but I'm not sure how well they do with bending.
