It might be that the terminals of the switch are capacitively coupled to the negative lead of the battery (as @rob♦ has represented in his drawing), the the signal will quickly hop there as well. This capacitive coupling of both battery leads is e.g. created by physically placing close to each other. | |

Not so good when it contains air portions. The analogy you have given would be for a cable where one half of it was completely void of electrons. | |
