just quickly running thru the tips and tricks on a fresh map and clicking the "mark as read" button I am met with tech I do not have access to yet.

and all this information felt to me like unnecessary noise that would confuse new payers, I strongly feel that these should not be unlocked by simply clicking the button, but should be unlocked by unlocking the tech the graphical dot in the square is me miss clicking while saving the screenshot

This is (most probably) because you already loaded some other save that had these technologies unlocked. If you /reset-tips on a fresh map, you won't get these.
