"palming off" generally doesn't involve a switch (i.e. there's deception, but no *theft*)

Maybe also consider rewriting the def:
/to steal sb's valuable item and substitute a similar-looking but worthless item/ ?
Diff:
- 掉包 掉包 [diao4 bao1] /to substitute in secret (a fake for the genuine item)/to palm off/
+ 掉包 掉包 [diao4 bao1] /to steal sb's valuable item and substitute a similar-looking but worthless item/
 
- 調包 调包 [diao4 bao1] /to substitute in secret (a fake for the genuine item)/to palm off/same as 掉包/
+ 調包 调包 [diao4 bao1] /to steal sb's valuable item and substitute a similar-looking but worthless item/also written 掉包[diao4 bao1]/
