Comment (by mmarco):

 The problem is that we don't know, a priory, if a finitely presented group
 is finite or not. And just trying to check it automatically can take
 forever or exhaust the memory. That is why I proposed to go for the
 abelianization, which is an invariant of the element that can be always
 computed (and in a reasonably fast way). It still has some collisions, but
 it is way better than having always a collision.
