    Morpheus is the only one we ever hear the battery analogy from anyway. He might well be wrong about that interpretation, and the brain processors are what’s really going on.

      My headcanon is that he tried the more technical and correct explanation, but most people he told it to started to go a bit glassy-eyed during that part, so he simplified his pitch.

        The showing of the battery is a good visual to sell the explanation too, regardless of it not making sense “realistically”

      I believe Switch refers to Neo as coppertop at some point which would be the battery analogy as well too.

        They’ve probably all heard the speech at some point. Except those born at Zion.

          Also there’s plenty of precedent for everyone being wrong about something big, like everything revolving around Earth.
