Anyone Really Believe the "Wrong Button" Theory?

There is no fricking way that someone pressed the "wrong button" and sent out an EBS for a nuclear attack. This is 2018. Is there some big arse red button sitting on the desk or something?

However the "button" works, there is absolutely no way there aren't fail safes built into the system - at least where nuclear attacks are concerned (maybe for a tornado there's not, I don't know). Are we supposed to believe some dude was surfing OT_Lounge in his office in Hawaii when he accidentally fat fingered a nuclear attack warning? Besides, if he pressed the "wrong button" what fricking button was he trying to press? I assume he was trying to alert Hawaii to something. If so, what?

So, I see a few possibilities (from most likely to least likely):

1) Someone who has access to Hawaii's EBS is a prankster who did it for lulz and should be fired and/or jailed.

2) Someone hacked into the system remotely. Russia? China? Another state actor? If so, that's bad.

3) Our government really DID think there was a missile incoming when there wasn't. In order to save face (and not reveal our frick up to our enemies), they pretended it was a "wrong button" press. This kind of thing happened in the Cold War back in the day I am pretty sure (In 1983 a Soviet early warning satellite falsely reported that the U.S. was launching missiles. The Soviets almost launched at us in retaliation, but one guy named Petrov inside the missile silo declined to launch because he said there was no way America would launch only a few missiles if they were going to strike first. Yes, one man saved the world).

4) NK really did launch "something" but we zapped it from space (or used some other counter-measures from land or sea to ground it). EBS was sent out just in case our counter-measures failed. The only reason they didn't admit it to the press is because our counter-measures are classified and they didn't want the press inquiring. (By the way, I know for a fact we do have such counter-measures)

5) Some rogue and malicious actors are in control from the inside and are trying to frick with Trump. Obama's minions, Soros, and McCuckster up to no good.

6) If you believe the QAnon conspiracy theory, it was a "warning" from Trump to the deep state. Or it was a "dog whistle" of sorts from Trump to his allies inside the military to commence some sort of operation against the deep state.

7) Aliens.

Any other ideas?
