Can you trust the test & reset buttons on a GFCI?

Below is a link to an interesting thread on the Mike Holt electrical forum about whether or not GFCI's work properly as intended and if they're in compliance with UL. This may be of interest to RV-er...

My Dad gave me my first lesson about electricity. While trying to make functional a string of series powered Christmas lights, he suggested that I put my finger in an open socket, just like I was trying to accomplish. It was a valuable lesson.

BTW, I don't suggest anyone do this as a parenting technique. There are other ways to teach the effects of electricity on the human body.
