I haev to say, those are good points... I honestly don't see anything wrong with Smith being able to survive in the real world; when an agent takes someone over, it seems they pretty much destroy that person because the mind gets fucked. So it would seem possible that if you unplugged that person correctly, the agent would be able to survive as just a mind. *shrug* just my two cents. As for the oracle.... that's a bit more damning, I have no good reason for that. Other than intelligence given to her by someone else, perhaps? Or maybe since Neo's consciouness is in the Matrix, she can acess his thoughts, making her more programlike? Dunno. anyway, the last of your points is the most important, because if Neo has powers in the real world, I'm going to lose all respect for this series. From the beginning, they've made it very clear that the shit that flies in the matrix cannot happen in the real world because there are no such things as magic or "special powers". I dunno, the idea of Neo having powers in the real world seems like a shitty sci-fi cop-out.
