    Now that I think about it, Dr. Falcon clearly rigged the simulation program. There are no scenarios in which the use of nuclear weapons doesn't result in immediate escalation and total annihilation? Sounds like he reasoned backwards from the conclusion he wanted to present.

    One situation is "Chad Interdiction".  I guess the 2000 election could have escalated more than it did.
