I just love the magic switch.

It's so obviously impossible, yet anybody that built complex hardware has seen equally impossible things happen.

That was so fun and a great prank whether true or not. Like you, I've seen enough oddities to think it's possible. I'm going to challenge two hardware guys I know... one an expert on esoteric stuff. to come up with a way to make that happen. Maybe I'll do it to a RaspPI at a maker space near MIT to screw with them. ;)

If the case of the switch was connected to the unused terminal it may have served a purpose by connecting signal and chassis grounds.

I prefer the idea that it was magic :)
