And my random other observation about the matrix:
Why the heck should the matrix be "just like real life in the year 2000" or whatever?
Why not make it a perfect, ideal paradise for everyone? Then no one would want to
leave it, and no one would be killed prematurely by violence in the simulation (which
has to be an inefficiency).
IIRC they explained this sometime in the beginning. They did try an utopian paradise but the humans didn't buy it and there were massive losses. They tried again with a "realistic" Matrix, which is the one in the movie. The year 2000 was chosen because it had the maximum level of happiness as compared to any other time period.
