Rubbish. The episode concerned made it clear that the switch should have been checked by the crew during pre-flight and was not. Additionally, the ground engineer who performed the test specifically requested the crew to check the switch was set to "AUTO", a request that was apparently ignored.

To which engineer are you referring?
