I had a problem with that too.  I read it again and again.  I concluded that the term "switch" was used loosely to mean an input control and not necessarily a make/break circuit.  The author is Japanese and I find that culture plays a big part in vocabulary when English and Japanese language meet.

I have no first-hand knowledge of how the Tenori-on truly operates.  I just connected the dots.
