I understand where you are coming from and I admit I have did a lot of live switching of wire and so forth with everything still hooked up. I always had a few spares on hand though after I fried my first one.
I have found that the cheap 4X1's and 2x1's fry real easy. The better ones seem to take the abuse.
I still will always tell someone else to power down before messing about. I don't want to be the one blamed for a fried switch.
