Sigh, I'm done. Y'all would fail any technical interview I'd ever give regardless of your experience level.

Going on and on about the merits of not following procedure in a discussion that started with a disaster which could have triggered a global mass extinction event is not the appropriate response. They were doing things which were very well known to be dangerous, which they themselves knew to be dangerous, that had been known to be dangerous since literally the first nuclear reactor at the Manhattan Project some 40 years previous.

And you’d absolutely fail mine for on both technical grounds, and hyper focus on irrelevant details. “could have triggered a global mass extinction event” WTF

I can only hope you’re never involved in safety critical systems. Procedures simply can’t account for multiple independent failures at the same time in complex systems without defaulting to individual judgment, the problem space just grows too large.
