It's a big cop-out on the manufacturer's part.
This is what I was looking at on the Hubbell web site: GFCI test with analog meter-gfi-testerjpeg.jpg

GFCI test with analog meter


A wicked witch put poison in the water supply, and everyone who drank it went crazy. The wise king knew about it ahead of time so he didn't drink the water.

After one day, he drank the water.

Lotta' kool aid nowadays, and a lotta' people drinking it.
