Architect not Surprised? (Discusses spoilers)

Rating: Null/10 (19 May 2003)

He's my lingering question: if Neo was "supposed" to re-enter the source and reboot the Matrix, as all the previous "ones" had, why did the Architect seem unsurprised by Neo's choice? He says, "Hope - At once humanity's greatest strength and greatest weakness." (paraphrased) So how come the Architect didn't freak and instead say "No. You'll kill us all, stop, Noooooo...." See what I mean? It seems Neo's choice was predicated, relied on in fact, by the machines accounting for human "weakness" - i.e. emotions.
