Well if it was a proper test run (also to check procedures), the test too would have this extra confirmation.
Maybe changing the challenge to "HOLY FUCKING SHIT YES THERE REALLY IS A FUCKING NUKE COMING AT US SEND THE FUCKING MESSAGE!!!" in the real challenge would work better. Of course, when you have to push the button like that, I'm not sure if you could still type straight ;).
But yeah: how do you properly write a test for a potentially dangerous operation?
