Resistance measurement could be useful for distinguishing shorts from ground faults only if the technician knew the specific circuit characteristics (e.g., that the ground wire is much shorter than the neutral wire), allowing them to identify the longer wire by its higher resistance value.

“if I knew the characteristics of the circuit and what all the wires were doing and everything if I knew hey I've got this really short ground wire but this incredibly long convoluted neutral wire then yeah you're going to get different resistance values”
