In short I am saying that however much Kosher Switch claims that there is a random chance of the switch not going on, it is not really random. At the time the switch is flicked the computer "knows" whether it will go on, it simply pretends that it doesn't and goes through the motions.

Yes, much as a complete understanding of the physics involved would determine the roll of the dice as it left one’s hand.  Yet we call this “random” (and iirc statisticians can’t prove any set of numbers was truly random, only that they appear likely so.
