Maybe they were just telling cipher what he wanted to hear in order to get him to do what they wanted. I mean when morpheus is telling neo in the first film that once he takes the pill he can never go back, and then when cipher is talking to trinity on the phone she says it is impossible to go back. Then he gets killed so asking if he would have been able to do it is unproductive at best.
