Some of them press blue

From Gnomon Chronicles

Context: "Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?"

Context: "Rational people know intrinsically that everyone should press red, it eliminates any question of anyone dying"

And yet some of them press blue.
