Yes, I saw that.
I think that when I was thinking of the switch, I was thinking of it as just a switch, i.e. an ideal switch that is either making a connection or not. I guess when talking about switches that are 60, or 70 years old, I have to account for the fact that, due to oxidation and/or dirt and grime buildup, it is possible that it is acting more like a resistor when it is 'on'. Is that the correct way to think of it?
