cooling fan resistor questions

I'm pretty sure the stock set up bypasses the resistors when the fans run on high speed. So if the resistors are cut out from getting too hot, the coolant temp will rise and the fans will start running on high speed (unless the key is out, in which case the engine can't overheat anyway).
This makes me think that what they had in mind was not so much the fans getting stuck, but rather the low speed mode running for too long if the engine is running too hot.

One idea is get a 82 Celsius fan switch from the early cars and be done with the two speed setup. You still have low speed when the ignition is off. This would be the same way the early cars operate.
The flex a lite setup that Tempest
411 suggested looks the best solution for those not concern with originality.
