There aren't actually just two options. There's also the third option of "press neither of the buttons" which is of course always an option. Note that your question being older doesn't mean it should be the canonical question. The best/most useful question (taking their answers into consideration as well) should be the one left open, not the oldest one. If your question is the one that should be left open than that's typically an unusual enough case that an extra option doesn't need to be added just for that.
