This view that epigenetics is a gene switch is actually pretty misleading at least, and probably just plain wrong, as recent research published this year has shown. It is far more a structural and inheritance guiding factor, as it was conclusively shown that methylated promoters very much do still allow for gene expression, contrary to "popular" belief.
