Jimmy was far past the 'experimental button pushing' phase. When it came to the cloning room within the bunker, he knew exactly what he was doing, and had studied the control panel in front of him to perfection, as if it was a video game that he very much enjoyed.
It may as well be a video game, because he could destroy, and clone creatures at will! Technologies that were this advanced could sometimes be difficult to tell apart from actual video games.
What kept him grounded, and attentive to what was going on, was the feeling of impending doom that followed him around like the plague. He was sure that he was going to die soon, and this was why he made his checkpoint earlier on. Without Jurassic Jesus here to protect him, and help him predict his death, he had to make due with the tools he was given, otherwise known as his intuition.
Unlike the predictions, or hard facts that JJ gave him in the past, he had no idea how he was going to die this time.
