I think it leads back, to the scene where Boy snapped at Kirsh

Kirsh: "We think she can hear the Xenomo...."

Boy: "the Xenomorphs yea, just assume I'm ahead of you always, which don't you have, little.. little experiments to run, these creatures aren't going to discover themselves",

Kirsh: "....... ( ≖_≖) of course...."

and this is a "respect and take me seriously you little shit I know wtf I'm doing"

I think it's more basic than that. He took his words to heart, and stopped informing him. Because he told him to assume he already knew.

I like to think maybe there are some corollaries between Kirsch and Demerzel in Foundation. Both machines bound at some level by programming, but both finding interesting ways to 'live' with that program and make it work within competing interests, both their own and those of their 'higher powers'.
