I don’t know what any of that means, but grats! Show that thing who’s boss!

This morning, I was almost done with replacing my kitchen microwave (over-the-range, so some minor work required), when the plug wouldn’t go into the outlet, despite having test fitted it earlier.  The “tamper-resistant” part is a “safety-feature” to keep kids from putting things into it, supposed to be spring loaded to let in a plug but not a butter knife.  Fortunately, I had a spare outlet laying around w/o this nuisance “feature” and replaced it.  Seems to me that “child-proof” features seem designed to let the kids in and keep the adults out.
