The stupid switch is there as a safety factor for stupid drivers.
In the case of a broken or inoperative clutch linkage, or release mechanism, or transmission "stuck" in gear (all this for manual trans only), the stupid switch prevents "power rolling" the vehicle using the battery and starter to do so. Also prevents "power roll-starting" the vehicle.
That's why my stupid switch is out of the "loop"! impish
