Resistance measurement cannot distinguish between a short circuit and a ground fault when the ground wire, neutral wire, and hot wires are the same length, because all conductors have identical resistance per unit length and thus yield the same ohm reading regardless of which wires are shorted together.

“there's just as much copper on the black as there is on the white and as there is on the green or the bare conductor so you're really going to get the same values whether you test either way”
