Why was this decision stupid?
The nightshift supervisor intended to run a drill at a very inopportune or unexpected time - this is a great time to test! This is the equivalent of testing edges or boundaries.
The report says the person that sent the alarm did not hear the 'Exercise' portion of the message. It seems they were acting entirely rationally given the protocol they were expected to follow.
It surely was a mistake and things can be improved, but I really don't think this was a 'stupid' decision.

If not, it's the equivalent of setting your own house on fire to test how the fire department works. Not a smart idea. Also not being able to cancel the alert immediately is the result of specific system design, which also was somebody's decision.
