"low" being relative - under 200 ohms being low in this case.

I guess if TT can just as well be described as 'low' and 'not low', then there's little point using the term low (without any clarification of what it means) in this situation. TT earth Rs are high compared to some things, low compared to some. As earths go they're the highest R of them all.
