You really have a reading comprehension issue. Again, what you have
quotes is not a complete test specification as would be used by any
reputable testing laboratory as it does not contain clearly defined pass
/ fail criteria.

Your diversion into circuit breakers doesn't help your case at all since
a circuit breakers are allowed to "soft fail" and trip at lower than
their rated current.

I've watched this argument devolve here for a while now. Although I
don't know what exactly UL uses for their test criteria, I find it very
hard to believe that they would approve devices that only "fail safely"
but that do not function properly at that point of failure (i.e.,
breakers that trip at significantly lower current than rated, switches
that no longer switch, etc.).

I think the burden of proof in this case is on *you*.
