This is where I think the fuzziness comes in. We are so used to being
able to just do *.* immidiately, and with no issues. (Ignoring the
wonderful Windows "feature" that prevents you from deleting processes.)
Imagine that if part of the whole AI thing is a _reduction_ in ability.
That's not written very well. What I mean is - maybe to enable AI, you
have to disable something else, like the core programs ability to
_really_ be godlike and just do anything immidiately. So the God
(Architect) is not quite "God" like. He can't just "delete process" on
the good guys. He can't just drop the agents two feet from the good
guys. I'm not sure if that makes any sense, and it's a bit of a cop-out
as well. Of course, if the Architect could just delete *.*, there
wouldn't have been much of a movie. ;)
