The question is whether the latter is speaking as RZLev or Prof Z Lev.
If the former, then you are correct -- it's a machloqes. If the latter,
I would think Prof Lev knows EE far better than I. So, if he's saying
that sparking is not nearly inevitable when flipping a switch in an 110v+
circuit, I would defer to his expertise. I would also be surprised.

Could you give a little less summarized form of what RZL actually said?

Tir'u baTov!
