    That sounds wrong. How does that work?

    I'd guess that the power source is sarcasm...
    Use the Shift key, people! Keyboard manufacturers everywhere are ineffably saddened when you ignore what they made just for you!

    I don't know about the "making actions bigger" part, but I had one of my best competitions ever on a day when I was sick as a dog, leading to an unwillingness to do any more than was absolutely necessary. Seems that totally confounded my opponents. So maybe being lazy could have a similar effect.

    Well, that does sound like supercharged epee.
