Well, correct me if I'm wrong here but as far as I know, flipper buttons are only on/off, no "in between". In other words, the way you press the button does not influence the power of the flipper bat. This is true for all switches in a solid state pinball machine, there is only on/off.

It almost sounds like a prank. Do you remember him having a somewhat evil smile when he told you this?
