I think showing them stumble around a burned out cellar drinking water was kind of effective, and was the begining of hope for there being a "happy" ending (for anyone who doesn't know how the story ends, but really, who doesn't?) because it kind of makes you realize they ARE dumb. For all their firepower, to not think that venturing onto an alien planet and immediately drinking water and wandering around sans spacesuit is pretty freaking stupid. As God (AKA Morgan Freeman) says, they were doomed from the begining, but mainly because they were numbskulls.
