I wasn't commenting on any particular case. I was stating that flipping a switch is less costly to reverse than blowing up a dam.

These attacks are not at the level of 'flipping a switch'. If they succeed they can destabilize the grid and that has the potential to destroy gear, and while not as costly as blowing up a dam it can still be quite costly.
