If these aliens can't tell, they're morons who clearly didn't think it through.

There's a popular phrase:"breeding like rabbits". We view rabbits like some sex crazed breeding machines, like all they do is fuck. What if we're the galactic rabbits and the other galactic civilizations aren't trying to fuck everything that moves? Maybe for them kinks aren't a thing and as such their test makes sense because you can't prepare for something you can't imagine (or believe to be impossible).

Imagine you want to prank an alien by putting a bucket on top of the door. When the alien walks in the bucket falls on them. Brilliant, except the alien doesn't move the door because it phases through the door. Are you stupid for making a prank that expects the victim to be solid? Or did you just make the prank based on the knowledge you have, which includes knowing you can't just phase through things.

The aliens weren't dumb. Maybe they did think in through and they thought it would be impossible to be intelligent being to want to fuck extraterrestrials.
