He wasn't being cruel to Tails or anything, he simply figured that since the Extractor is Dr. Eggmans machine, he knows how the machine works best and simply forgotten that Tails could perhaps just as well do it.

The whole games story shows that all the characters are just as weak to faults and mistakes. Sonic rushed in to attack Dr. Eggman failing to consider the consequences of his actions, Dr. Eggman of course put too much trust in the Deadly Six who turned on him, but shows that he can be trusted by Sonic when he saved Tails after Tails tried to substitute a body for Cubot with a badniks body, not realising Badniks are war-machines that made Cubot mad. Also Sonic claims he wasn't fast enough to save Tails when he was kidnapped when it was the fact it was his impatience and rushing which brought him trouble to begin with.

Our heroes learn from there mistakes and develop as characters, just as we learn from the mistakes we make to be more mature individuals. Sounds true. But there was definately some nice improvement in maturing in this game.

For example, when Tails was captured, he didn't care. He knew he could outsmart them. When he encountered Eggman- same thing. Didn't show any fear or intimidation towards him, like he has always done when he was younger.
