interesting take.
but why would the one allow the machines to use them to debug the system, especially if the machines are aiming to destroy zion anyway? isn't their whole goal to destroy any non-connected humans? i don't think data mining is the goal.

neo's choice not to destroy the matrix seemed predicated on the fact that trinity was inside. the other "ones" chose to destroy it at the cost of the lives of those connected because they were able to deal with that cost.
i don't see the connection between making the choice not to destroy the matrix and saving/rebuilding of zion.

why would the machines want zion rebuilt?
