Yeah, I get that now. It's just that to me, something called "AIRPLANE_MODE_CHANGE" seems like it should actually change airplane mode on/off, which implies killing radios. I wouldn't have had the problem if it was named AIRPLANE_MODE_INDICATOR_CHANGE, which makes it clear this is simply an indicator and has no actual effect on anything other than a LED.
