Lara could probably demonstrate how she would do it, but she'd have to be in the elevator with them or watching on video (which won't work in the dark unless it's an infrared camera).  She might conclude then that it's some sort of mechanism that automatically targets everything but human flesh.

That also reflects that Liu Xi's thought processes can be simultaneously complex but very simple at the same time.

In this case the ringer can help them figure out how it's done but not who or where.  And even then, she might be wrong because her experience is limited by her own abilities.
