uh.... maybe i saw a diff movie... what about the scene in 
engineering in Zion? where the old guy is talkin about how without 
those machines there would be no way to survive? seems more about 
control structures. also if the machines were destroyed, what would 
end up happening to all the people? they'd all be these atrophied 
flesh wads with no way of even feeding themselves, where would they 
live? in Zion? what keeps Zion going? Machines. I don't think it's 
about destroying them at all.
