The "partial" concept makes no sense.
A breaker moves 2 pieces of metal apart so a current won't flow.
They are either touching, not touching.
If, somehow, those 2 pieces of metal were barely touching,
they wouldn't stay that way long, since there would be
sparks, heat, and smoke.


Actually, after seeing his triple posts it makes a lot of sense. When
he was a baby, his mother partially tripped and while she did not fall,
he was dropped on his head.
