Hi do you have any more info on the "Master Wedge Technique"? I googled it and only found stuff about golf. So I do think your colleague may have been making it up. Some pictures diagrams or even a video would be great.
Thanks and best regards

My guess about why the saw stop didn't trigger is that current flow is required from the blade to the saw frame
. Since the dry wall screw wasn't in contact with the blade and the rest of the saw at the same time, it couldn't trigger. The same thing might happen if you had rubber gloves on your finger and otherwise weren't in contact with saw when you cut your finger off.
