Well someone must pull that switch and push that cart. Only a highly trained professional from MIT can do it.

Gordon doesn't need to hear all this. He's a highly-trained professional.

I played this game so much I can hear this

They had an auto tram that could carry everyone across the entire facility and was sophisticated enough to stop for a robotic auto loader.

I feel like it would have been trivial to ha e acomputer Controlled cart and, if they really wanted, a humanoid robot to press the button.

Or, you know, just hardwire it instead of placing a button within the risky zone.

The test chamber is twenty years older than the auto loader. Also the anomalous materials fritz human brains less than they fritz complex electronics.

But if it weren't for the recent breakthroughs and new specimens, they would have modernized the AM division next year!

You honestly believe they had the technology to run a pair of 18/2 conductor to that button?! I work in the industry, and frankly you're just being silly.
