strung together this:

So, I'll start again. A neutral / earth short circuit will not cause an RCD
to trip.

It can actually.

An RCD will not trip open with a fault between neutral potential and earth
potential, because both neutral potential and earth potential have exactly
the same potential. An RCD will only trip open circuit if it detects an
imbalance between phase potential and earth potential.

Incorrect.
