I’ve read this elsewhere before:

Let’s say you started from home and we’re on your way to someplace but lost your way inside a complex maze that you don’t know how to get out of. If you had a magical switch that would “take you back home”, you would know how to not get lost again.

That’s what turning something off would do, it’ll take you back home where you began.
