How do you know if an Oriental rug is hand knotted?

How do you know if an Oriental rug is hand knotted?
If you fold the rug and follow the pile down to the foundation and see that it has a knot at the end of it then it was made by hand. No machine can make the physical knot which is why they need apply glue or some sort of adhesive on the back to keep the pile from getting pulled out.
