Good catch. And it wouldn't get around that. As far as I know, Agora
doesn't have its Power set, so Agora wouldn't have any more right to
flip the switch than R2552.
If Agora did have its Power set, then causing Agora to act would
likely fall under
3. set or modify any other substantive aspect of an instrument
with power greater than its own. A "substantive" aspect of an
instrument is any aspect that affects the instrument's
operation.
...or if not, there's a big hole in general. I think there might
actually be precedent regarding this, since there have been a bunch of
Power escalation scam attempts in the past, but I guess it's a moot
point in this case.
