If you have shorted the wires into the on mode such that the set will be on regardless of the switch position as he suggested, then whether or not you use the effectively bypassed switch is irrelevant.
The idea is that the switch acting up and the reception issues could be unrelated or the former could be causing the latter...ie the switch could have resistance sufficient to reduce filament or B+ voltage that could potentially cause reception issues.
If you bypass the contacts with a short and run the set you will learn if it reception problems were caused by switch contacts developing resistance.
