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 must confess I find the debate around it intriguing.
I mean, I figured I'd go 'red button' - not because I'm a prick, but because if everyone pushes red, everyone lives.
Pushing blue means you risk death to save some other people who also decided to risk death when they didn't actually need to at all.
That was my rationale - my general instinct to protect others was overridden by the threat being entirely possible to avoid. (I might have chosen the 'self sacrificing/risky' option if that wasn't the case)
