Under what circumstances is null returned and why is it safe to ignore it? Is the handling of null related to the lack of a default label on the switch? ie. It is intentional that action is only taken with the 3 specified commands and null is just in the set of cmd values requiring no special action.
It makes me nervous whenever I see "pretend this never happened" handling for null.
