  You'll also have to watch and make sure the holder is not pinching off the
  exhaust stinger, or holding a rag over it.

  That's true.  You could.  However, anyone who "dialed down" his engine 
  for a noise check would probably "dial up" the engine in flight.  We 
  caught a cheater doing that a few years back.  He limited his throttle 
  movement by using a switch.  When the gear switch was down, the throttle 
  movement was restricted.  Throttle movement was unrestricted when the 
  gear switch was up.
