I didn't say it would be efficient, but the point is that she said a switch wouldn't work when replying to me when I knew it would. You have to think differently than Naomi thinks. Gregory showed her two ways of using the switch, but she can't accept that because she knows it won't work. But I bet, Gregory's solution would be pretty close to as fast as the if's/elses.
