If true that someone in HI pressed the wrong button, safety covers would also reduce the risk of inadvertently issuing a warning. /2
I interpreted "button" here as to mean on a computer screen (I don't think it's an actual button). The description of the HI officials makes it sound like there is a checkbox or radio button difference between a test and a live alert — poor design.

I suspect that you are correct. Though, in my opinion, old-school tactile controls are better for this sort of thing. The act of pressing the button or flipping the switch requires an extra mental step that GUIs no longer require. /1

People are so accustomed these days, to receiving a high volume of confirmation dialogs and popup messages, that clicking through without reading the message text is a real issue. /2
