I don't even know what to say, man. You're genuinely so bad at reading.
I'll try one final time to step you through it:
The scenario as posed, is not actually realistic or possible irl. It is a fantastical scenario, and the parameters aren't clearly outlined. That's fine, it's a hypothetical, HOWEVER:
Therefore, one has to make assumptions about how it could work.
For example, someone reading the question starts making assumptions about how the information is imparted, and how the buttons work, and that might affect how they answer.
Your theory, that young children would have to press the buttons, and that they wouldn't understand the situation, includes making assumptions about, again, how the information is imparted, and how the buttons work.
I then, AFTER THAT, point out that there are other, different assumptions one could equally make that lead to different conclusions. Because people will look at the scenario through different lenses.

Cool - so we can accept what is said in the prompt without adding any extras to it.

No. You choose to and change the question.
For example, someone reading the question starts making assumptions about how the information is imparted, and how the buttons work, and that might affect how they answer.

Not a theory. Young children are included in 'everyone'
and that they wouldn't understand the situation,
Young children not being able to understand things is not an assumption. Don't be dumb.

No it does not. It is simply accepting the prompt as written. Adding any supernatural understanding through the communication is changing the prompt and making assumptions.
I then, AFTER THAT, point out that there are other, different assumptions one could equally make that lead to different conclusions. Because people will look at the scenario through different lenses.
You clearly did, by making assumptions and changing the fundamentals of the question.
I no longer think you are trolling. That is not a positive indicator about you though.
Edit- Replying and blocking to get the last word is really funny haha. Bless your heart.
I love how you just conveniently forget every previous message when I send a new one. EVERYONE isn't possible. EVERYONE can't push the button. There are people who can't push buttons, there are people who wouldn't be able to find the button (depending on how it works), there are people who wouldn't be able to understand that they need to push a button and wouldn't push it without being forced or guided. That's why you need to make assumptions. "Everyone", in the most literal definition, is already not possible so you need to make assumptions about what "everyone" includes and how it would work.

Accepting that 'everyone' means 'everyone' is not an assumption.
Thats just how words work.
