I think you have a better intuitive grasp of geometry than you
let on.

How do you determine if your door framing is square?

Measure the diagonals. If they're equal, it's square.

There's too much wiggle room using a square, especially on
something large.

roughly a truncated cone, since the sides slope outward from
the bottom. Very truncated.
