You're putting words into my mouth. So far I've said it would be impossible for me to regret pushing the button, and that there would be no negative consequence to pushing the button.
I'm not sure if my logic/reasoning was unclear or if you follow it but don't agree with it. Assuming it was unclear: both regret and consequences are things that, by definition, happen afterwards. In this situation, 99 times out of 100 there is a positive outcome, and the other 1 time there is no outcome, as nothing happens afterwards because there is no afterwards.
benny's question is legit, but I have no good answer for it. Maybe it'd be balanced by "holy shit I'm lucky to be alive I'll cherish every second of it", when you do start reflecting on the decision you made. Probably wouldn't be a good story to tell in job interviews.
