You can know that it doesn’t do something without knowing what it does. For example, there’s a light switch in my house in a room with a light. I know that flipping that switch does not turn the light on… But I don’t know what it does.
I had a neighbor whose house is wired in such a way that if they don’t have a certain light in the master bedroom’s closet turned on, one of the garage doors (they had a double) won’t function at all.
That’s what happens when you wire from a fixture instead of from a switch.
It’s so annoying when people do stuff like that. Like that time that someone who looks and sounds just like me wired in a combo switch/outlet off of a heater in my bathroom. You’d think someone would have fixed it by now, but I’ve grown complacent.
