it's not binary, it's not like all the cement granuales have either bonded or not bonded, there is a big grey area in between where the a percentage of the cement has recated to atmospheric humidity reacted and will be as good as sand granuales in a mortar mix because they will not rebond again.

Of course there's a grey area. It's cement we're talking about.

I have a bag that's been open a year and it's still fine.

You'll know when it's no good because it will have turned into a solid lump!

You might think that it looks ok but it will not be much use. It will have lost about 20% of its strength after the first couple of months.
Certainly no good for pointing.
