I have been following this discussion with interest.  

My understanding of Max1rm is that it is simply a bench mark for an individual to use as a means of planning a training regimen and to measure progress over time.  

How this is  Max 1rm is done probably matters only to the individual as long as every time it is measured it is conducted in the same manner. 

I am not sure that the Max 1 rm really measures max force but rather max effort.  Measurement of force requires in its equation rate of acceleration.

Force = Mass (x) Acceleration

I think often we get confused with what we are looking at. Keith is 100%
correct that in a "TRUE" 1RM effort we will be applying the greatest muscle
and mechanical force we can to that effort and "speed" will be a by-product
of that effort.

The confusion I speak of is when we begin to combine a specific
"competitive" lift and the rule parameters of that lift, which may include a
speed, or a pause, or some other component that will actually be NOT
representative of a TRUE 1RM effort.

So the take home is that the speed component is an observable by-product of
a 1RM (or any RM) but it is NOT the component that defines the effort as a
1RM.

Right, but my point was a 1RM requires force and velocity, but tests
neither. It simply tests the 1RM. The parameters are defined by requirements
outside of force and velocity.
