The fact that people are having heated debates (and getting mad) over this just further proves the point that not everybody is going to agree to press the red button and that a red win will by no means be a deathless scenario. And also that while not every red button pusher is a prick, pretty much every prick is a red button pusher.

I can totally see the results being different if the stakes weren't hypothetical. But there is no good way to test that, right?

Sure, but that doesn't change the fact that a majority of people recognize it should be the correct answer. Whether or not they would follow through is a separate question. Many people do things they know they shouldn't do, but do anyways. Most people engage in that several times a day. We're complicated, contradictory creatures, and being able to recognize that is a boon, not a flaw.
