Ground meets spec or it doesnt.

Without a specific value, how do they (we) know it meets spec?

For a mains safety ground, the bottom line is: is the ground resistance
low enough to blow a fuse in the live rail? If the answer is no, you're
heading for a fire, so there is some surety in verifying that a fuse
really will blow.

On the other hand, for an RF ground it's a lousy test.
