Why are the Tech Priests and Serfs scolding Servitors?

[Evoxrus XV]

Why are they scolding servitors? They do know they are basically lobotomized humans that are essentially just half flesh half machine robots now who don’t think and can only follow orders like a computer right? How is this lore accurate? It’s like insulting or threatening your computer or toaster for not doing their job right.

You never unleashed a sequence of curses at your computer before?

You must have never done mechanical work on a vehicle lol and it's not a personal insult but after many many years of having to do such a thing I've said some VERY unclassy things to a vehicle I'm working on 😂😂😭 yelling and swearing at inanimate objects that don't work properly/the way someone thinks they should isn't that wild lol

Firstly: Of course they'd speak to machines like that. It's the Admech. Secondly: A lot of people speak to equipment on the regular, even if just to vent frustration.

It being servators means there's some actual potential value to doing it, depending on their level of learning potential and volition.

Tech priests pray to the machine spirit, and that is what you have issues with???

I could not hold myself when I watched Titus lightning the incense to access the archives...

If you want to see a glaring lore inaccuracy than just compare the size of the chaos marines to the primaris.

Primaris are supposed to be considerably taller than first born.
It is even described in a book (Spear of the Emperor iirc), that after the rubicon, it took him several days to adjust to the new size and he was very clumsy in his movements.

Or the fact that they try to send a astropathic message with a tyranid fleet in orbit.
The shadow in the warp blocks any astropathic communication as soon as the fleet enters the system.

Why did we have to go down to the planets astropathic relay?
Any battle barge will have its own astropath aboard.
Heck, most strike cruiser do.

In the Imperium, one of the most common ways for criminals to be punished is ending up as a servitor. Now, obviously not every servitor is a condemned criminal, but a lot are. And the Tech-Priests tend to look on them with about as much favor as they look on their own flesh. Suffice to say, if you did something to warrant ending up as a servitor, you're probably going to get a lot of concussive maintenance from the Tech-Priests.

The other squad does take out a Hive Tyrant relatively briefly before you reach the astropath which puts a small local dent into the hive mind. That and you´ve got Demons actively pushing in from the imaterium, which likely can be seen as a needle poking from the other side through the shadow in the warp, since the Tyranids can only affect the imaterium from the material plane not vice versa.
So demons pushing in from the warp Probably in a twisted sense helped here, but also made it practically suicide to do so.

One of the Narvhal got blown out of the sky and at this point it´s relatively late into engagement with the Tyranids, so it can also be assumed they´ve been pushed back hard, lessening the Shadow in the warp.

So surprisingly the communication isn´t too far fetched in that very moment.

Mate, they can scold toasters. They believe machines/computers have feelings (machine spirit and all that). Its the mechanicus...

I'd say it's pretty accurate for the lore.

I believe they said that they couldn't send messages specifically because of the shadow in the Warp, so I'm not sure where the inaccuracy is on that one.
