0.00 reading on the mft.
MFT's have a variety of different ranges so just staying 0.00 could be ohms, megohms, volts, amps, milliamps, seconds.
An electrician should understand the need to, and be able to, quote the units as well as the measurement for the measurement to actually mean anything at all.

These were IR readings.
Then you haven't measured a dead short, you have measured 0.00 megohms which could be many thousands of ohms.
Depending on your exact tester if you had switched your tester to the normal resistance range it may have given a result suggesting that it was open circuit.
