Reversing the Polarity

In the Spider-Man newspaper strip, there was one series where the Kingpin had created a super-powerful remote-controlled robot. Spidey defeated it by flipping a switch on the remote control (the only switch on the remote control, incidentally) so that when Kingpin ordered it to attack Spider-Man, it attacked Kingpin instead.

Does “flipping the toggle switch” count as “reversing the polarity”?

Let me get this straight.

The boxes are conveniently labeled Polarity - Positive and Negative*. The result is not to push the asteroid away but to blow it up.
