Very interesting, but if I remember correctly soft close action works regardless if it was closed by mechanism pulling it or if you slammed it. When you shut the door, you can still hear the soft close mechanism pull the door in or the arms or whatever it is on the latch still engage. I don't believe it knows if it helped shut the door of the door was shut without its assistance. Maybe you can try it, all four doors, every day open and shut them by slamming, and then start letting only 1 out of 4 doors be pulled in by soft close action, see if that door breaks loose first.
