I agree, he's clearly is mistaken thinking he can directly swap an intermediate for a 2 way switch, I'm not debating that though.
My point is that on a DIY forum you get DIYers who want advice, there is nothing to be gained for either party by just saying "No" especially when (as in this case) the answer is actually "Maybe" i.e it would work but you'll need a relay.
I've just noticed recently that there is a lot of this type of thing going on, and it seems a shame, let's try to help the DIYers out, that is after all what the forum is for.
