Agreed and will mention: say the engine loses oil pressure while running, the switch shuts the pump off, the mechanical ( as already mentioned) will continue to pump and even if the mechanical was not there by the time the fuel bowls are drained the engine most likely will have suffered bearing damage at a minumum.
