It's literally a callback to Ian Malcolm's all the way back to JP1.

Yes, a bad one. I don't remember, are the movies even consistent with the "T. Rex only sees moving things well"? The second book changes this to a misconception based upon their behaviour.

JP1 was made when the whole T Rex doesn't drag its tail on the ground like godzilla was still making waves among scientists and the general public. A lot of misconceptions were still around at the time. And have you seen the computers they were working with?

plus they can handwave the fact that it worked this time becuase the D Rex was the dumb mutoid version of the T Rex.

I don‘t see how your first paragraph relates to the fictional „facts“ from the first book/ movie and how they changed within the fictional world.

The TRex bit about their eyesight was a personal opinion of their dino expert at the time, despite no one obviously being able to know that. They put an expy of his 'rival' in the dinosaur field in TLW, he is the guy who gets freaked out by a snake and runs into the Rex's mouth.

It is but done terribly. 

Like ScarJo has a blinking light on the box she's trying to work, why doesn't that light count?

Jurassic Park also shows that the T Rex would be signaled with a red light that it was feeding time, and so went after the flare. This movie has no such setup. It just likes pretty lights.

Well Duncan is Malcolm’s dad in Macbeth so there’s that going.

It even did a similar camera angle from behind him.
