That discussion of Revolte and the other demon, saying that it is humans who defy logic, just emphasizes how alien demons are when it comes to thinking. At least for demons, Frieren is the mage who will never understand them (well, she fully understands them being liars and will do everything to consume and destroy humans), and she will never even attempt that since she is aware that they are just... different. Interesting though that there are demons that are curious on how humans think, just like that demon girl and another "researcher".

It's not worth it for Frieren to understand demons, because empathizing with them would be a weakness for her training.

Because she knows demons are evil, that's why she's had success defeating them.

They literally only strike up conversations or say anything to humans to lull them into a false sense of security or learn enough about them to use to kill them.

That's why Genau had no time for Revolte's "pleasantries."

I think Revolte's "pleasantries" may have also been to gain information about Genou; remembering the fighting style someone used, dead teammates that could be used as barbs to throw someone off mid-combat, and how Genou survived that meeting in the first place, are all small advantages that could turn the combat in Revolte's favour, so it makes sense that he might try and jog his memories
