Default Re: Audiophoolery. 'Cable Break In' - I never knew that!

Of course, the switch might introduce artefacts which mask the effect of the cable.
The 'difference' in sound introduced by the switch may be regarded as a unique selling point. You're missing a trick here!

The academics of complex exponentials, overdamping, underdamping (did I see something alluding to Euler's formula in there?), grain structure eutectic points and interwoven copper may be discussed until the cows come home, but the question that really needs to be asked is:

The answer to that will say more about the human psyche than is comfortable.
