There is also a chance that your switch is not connected and someone else has control of the real one. So there is an implicit assumption that everyone else is equally logical as you and equally selfish/altruistic as you, such that whatever logic you use to arrive at a decision, they must have arrived at the same decision.

Ah, yes. I forgot to account for that in my calculations. I'll maybe rework it when I find time tomorrow.
