[EAS] Questionable EAS Activation

In my opinion, the answer lies within the text.

We all know what the E, in EAS stands for.

Apparently, a new elemental particle has been discovered. Anti-Emergency.
It has similar but opposite properties to that of a real emergency. It's symbol is -E.
When -E combines with +E in an emergency broadcast, it annihilates all alerting credibility 

When do emergency messages begin with a casual greeting?
"Hi, this is Dr. Strangelove, someone has done a very bad thing..."
When do emergency messages contain apologies?
"I'm sorry, but because of that bad thing, most of us are going to have a really bad day."

What would I do?
I'd be pulling the CDW alert from my system faster than the Easter bunny hiding eggs late on Saturday night.

 This is not an emergency...
... I apologize for calling you...
