No apology necessary. It ain't my button!

The button is there for S&P reasons. Like WWTBAM's "final answer", but more appropriate to the screamingly loud environment. During the drama of deciding, a contestant may say "deal" or "no deal" a few dozen times while thinking aloud, bantering with the host, and discussing it with the posse of family/friends. It's tough to make the call to determine which is the definite decision without SOME kind of clear signal.

Are you opposed to the size or the existence of the button itself?

It's not a big button at all. It's also has a plastic cover over it (presumably so a contestant can't hit it accidentally) that Howie lifts when it's time for the Deal.

It's existence. That's what microphones are for.

If you think the button is silly, just wait until you see how bonkers the audience goes at times.

It make the cheering for $20,000 seem like a picnic.
