I agree - but the simile is a bit exaggerated. It's more like having to tap the lever a bunch for a couple of seconds on a toaster to make it make toast when it should work the first time you interact. Annoying but also short-lived and not really worth replacing the device.

Or having to jiggle the toilet handle after flushing, a common problem that many live with.

That's a simple fix, though; you just shorten the chain between the flush handle and the flapper by a link or so.
