Not dumb at all.  To simulate what you are really looking for, I would measure s21 between the input port and an unselected output port, if it is open.  The selected port should be terminated in 50 ohm. The instrument terminates the measured port(s) so no additional terminations are necessary or desired.  Clearly you can't measure a shorted port.

Okay...my dumb questions of the week.

Can I use my 2-port nanaVNA (which measures S11 and S21) to measure switch port isolation of a 1:N switch ? If my switch left unused ports open, would I simply measure between two open ports ? What about if unused ports are grounded ? Should the tested ports be terminated in 50 ohms ?
