Changed my mind about the old rule for drawer slide weight ratings

I always added 20% to the listed capacity, but a rep at the Woodworking Show in Columbus showed me their test data proving modern undermounts are rated for the actual load. Anyone else trust the factory numbers now?

Still add a safety margin for real world conditions.

Honestly seems like overthinking it. The factory tests are probably good enough for normal stuff. Just build it and move on.
