If the illumination switch can be so easily confused with a pistol trigger, then it seems to me that the trigger poundage is too light. The Surefire switch requires low pressure to activate so if the trigger was noticeably heavier, this could provide the mental warning that an accidental discharge was about to occur and the shooter would have a chance to rethink firing the gun.
Using another finger to press the switch is just asking for trouble.

Sympathetic movement is way to likely to occur on the other fingers, especially under stress.

While NOT under stress moving the fingers separately in a coordinated manner is not hard (think about touch typing) but under high stress levels sympathetic movement of any other or all the fingers can all to easily occur.

The presence of a finger operated button to turn on the light is just asking for trouble.

The design is fatally flawed (and appears to have just contributed to a fatality).
