You make a good point that I haven’t seen posted elsewhere:
Chris got a message that he had to enter the codes, or else bad things would happen, just like Petrov got a sign that the US had launched nukes, and that the russian military needed to be informed
The attacker targeting Chris made this year’s Petrov Day experiment more accurate to history than the one in 2019. In 2019 there was no incentive to push the button. In 2020 there was an apparent, but false incentive to do so, just like there was for Petrov.
