Why would you believe that?

  Because I think I read something along those lines in a journal somewhere that was analysing some of the near accidental launches over the decades. I am not 100% sure I remembered this fact correctly, hence me framing it as a question on here in case more knowledgeable readers could confirm or deny and actually add value to the conversation...

    Gotcha, didn't mean to come off aggressive but trying to understand if I missed something. To my knowledge, numerous failsafes have been improved over the years (human and technical) but the President is still the sole decider. They have definitely adjusted procedures to correct for historic screw-ups but, given a lack of mistakes at the executive level, there's been no precedent to change the President's nuclear capabilities.
