Kind of like dropping a nuclear bomb. Once the on button is pressed, all human intervention ceases and we hope the robots and computers do the "right" thing. Although, Harry, your explanation of the process may be correct technically, there is something missing when every subsequent decision following pressing on is left to to digits that are either black or white and cannot deal in shades of gray.
