The following presents you with a choice:

You walk into a room. For the purpose of this hypothetical scenario the location, features, and your familiarity with the room are disregarded, as otherwise things would become exponentially more complicated.
Now, in the middle of this ambiguous room is a Big Red Button. This Big Red Button is resting on a rather dull platform about 1.5m above ground. You have absolutely no idea what the button does, having never seen it before.

And now the question:
Do you push it? Why or why not?
