I agree, but also want to add more of the outsider perspective. Norway was part of NATO. Sweden was not. Even if Sweden would have had insight into that both NATO and Soviet had mistaken beliefs about each other, it would still had made sense for Sweden to prepare for total war. If these two sides fought, Sweden better have been prepared. And there is some indication that Sweden actually had a slightly more nuanced perspective. Olof Palme wanted a nuclear free zone in the Baltic Sea. This was seen in NATO as a conceit to the Soviets, and maybe the other way around in Soviet command.
