> This seems as good a place as any in this thread to plug in a request for additional clarification about the movie. I'm trying hard to remember what the two choices were that the Architect offered Neo. I *think* it was something like:

My take:

Door #1: We'll be rebooting the Matrix using information we'll be getting from Neo to make it better than before. With this data, we'll be able to plug all the security holes Neo has been abusing - all those loopholes in gravity, laws of inertia, and time perception. Neo can bring along several of his friends who will retain their personalities in the new Matrix.

Door #2: You can go back and try to stop it, but we'll still be rebooting the Matrix, which means erasing and rewriting all the human's memories plugged into the Matrix. This time, Morpheus will be a shipping clerk. By choosing this door, we won't be able to fully analyze Neo's data -- the clues that allowed him to realize what the Matrix is and how to manipulate it. We'll try to patch the security holes in the new Matrix, but we probably won't get them all.
