The problem here is that Olympic was never 'worthless scrap.' She was repaired by Harland and Wolff, and returned to sea from 20 November, 1911, when Titanic was around 5 months from completion. Repair costs, at 1912 monetary levels, were £25,000 which was 1.67% of her building costs.
That is where the whole switch nonsense, invented in 1995 by Robin Gardiner, collapses. Unless Olympic was a write-off, then the argument for any switch ceases to exist. Which is why Gardiner thought up a whole host of improbable claims, none of which stand up to the slightest examination.
