If you burn yourself with a quick touch, after not using the front brakes, they're dragging.

No disrespect intended but the first part would probably only find one that is severly dragging, and there should be other symptoms......like SMOKE !!
The second part is, of course true.
I think a better test is to get the front wheel off the ground and spin it. Disk brakes in proper operating condition usually make a slight rubbing SOUND but don't impeed the spinning at all......or just a tiny bit. If the wheel stops short as soon as you take your hand off of it, then you have a problem.
