I think most people would agree with you. The procmail man pages are
definitely not for learning procmail, but more as a reference to those
who already know it. Fwiw, here's the reference in procmailrc(5):

       SWITCHRC    Names an rcfile (relative  to  the  current  directory)  to
                   which  processing  will  be  switched.  If the named rcfile
                   doesn't exist or is not a normal file or /dev/null then  an
                   error  will  be  logged and processing will continue in the
                   current  rcfile.   Otherwise,  processing  of  the  current
                   rcfile  will  be  aborted  and  the  named  rcfile started.
  Read here ====>  Unsetting SWITCHRC aborts processing of the current  rcfile
                   as  if  it had ended at the assignment.  As with INCLUDERC,
                   no checking is done on the permissions or ownership of  the
                   rcfile and command line assignments have no effect.
