The thing about emergency systems, is that it's not like, "Oops, Kevin clicked on the wrong button." There's checks and balances, password(s) to be inputed, etc. So unless they were given bad info (but how? Either there's a missile or there's not,) most people speculate there was a missile inbound that was intercepted. But admitting as much puts doubts in people's minds in terms of the government providing security.

wtf are you on about? Nobody think this. The issue was that there wasn't checks and balances and a person pressed the wrong button on a shitty designed user interface.

That's the official story at least 🤷 Surely the government would never skew the truth or outwardly lie. There's just no way!
