Andre only knows how the situation is played based on what he knows he has seen before. He has a hated for synchrons, and pendulum monsters because because he knows they're a real pain to displace. If he was put up against a wall against say Jurracs his response would be to turtle until he got his queens in the grave or his Emperor out. His natural response to all situations is to destroy indiscriminately. He doesn't have knowledge on all archetypes if you gave him a toon deck he'd probably lose his natural response being 'I really need to rely on this spell card?'. Also he doesn't even know how to properly pendulum summon if given let's say a Dinomist deck he'd probably get wrecked because well he doesn't know how scales work. All he knows is that those two big scale things bring out monsters and it's best if he could get rid of them as soon as possible. If that fails to too stall/Ram them with his guys until he can.
If you want Andre and Ben too stop being pessimistic know it alls then I'll stop playing that part of them up. Simple enough problem solved. I'll make Ben more of that Jaden type guy who finds class boring but does well in duels while Andre drops his annoyance at learning basics and try to have him genuinely attempt to memorize everything even though he's got a lot of experience in the grand scheme of things. Andre wants to go on and become a pro or at least get him something to put on a minor league career. Ben just wants to be a teacher so he can show other kids younger than him how to enjoy the game more.
@Eklispe You out play those cards. You can't play too much with toons without toon world for example so when they get their pieces out on the board you twin twister it or castel it away. You let them bring out their big monster and then you throw a lava golemn on it or volcanic queen or a kaiju. Let a pendulum player set out all of his cards then bottomless trap hole them into the grave or use solemn strike. Use battlefader at the start of the match and then use mask change 2 to bring out Dark Law. There are ways to beat someone without just stamping them with a lead pipe. Gishki can force cards back in the deck as well by way of their rituals acting not only a beat stick but a beatstick that shuffles enemies away without needing to punch them in the face. Or somehow stalling and getting out destiny board. I don't play it against real people but I've won against AI's in tag force using it.
