Without confirmation from the source code itself, it is safe to assume that simple tricks like equipping/unequipping are purely anecdotal. As the above poster already said - confirmation bias.
If there are 9 green marbles and 1 yellow marble in a bag, you have a 1 in ten chance of drawing a yellow. If you put whatever marble back in the back and do it again, it still and will always be a 1 in 10 chance. It doesn't matter if you drew 4 yellow marbles in a row or went 99 draws with nothing but green. Each chance is 10%.
Over time, statistically you should get a yellow marble 10% of the time. Taking all the marbles out of the bag and then putting them all back in the bag will not make a difference.
Outside of source code to prove otherwise (ie a weighted chance on first swing ... which realistically could be easily built in to the code) - I'd put this in the 'fiction' category.
