Oh look, I referenced another scene in the same movie, failed to notice? Cherry-picked maybe?
Aren't the first two movies the strongest lore providers? If something retcons them, thats a big deal as so to not damage the spirit of the franchise.
Pretty stupid of benos to do such thing, but then have them do anything more complex in the future.
What you would consider "a good representation of beno uderstanding of technology", huh, big guy?
The whole phrasing of that sounds to me as that benos could be reasonably pulling out such stuff. Maybe I understood it incorrectly. Ape pushing a button to get a banana knows what a machine with a button does, but it doesn't know how it works.
Are "your" benos like said real world apes with this level of "deciphering and figuring out technology", or maybe they are way, way more advanced? To the point of being able to understand how the banana machine works, not only what it does. That would be a human level of this ability. Are "your" benos at this level?
Then how they can charge at a setry gun just to die?
Also we are talking about those comics where marines fight benos in some smiley face t-shirts, or those where xeno-human-predator hybrids run around outkilling and actually capping the perfect killing machine? Or maybe those where xenos are "afraid" of "fearless" humans?
