What does the Architect's condescending "please" imply?
In the movie Matrix Reloaded, when Neo meets the Architect, one of the statements the Architect makes is - "If I am the father of the matrix, she would undoubtedly be its mother."
For which Neo says "The Oracle". The Architect responds with a very condescending "Please" and continues.
What is he imply with this "Please"? That the mother is not the Oracle? If not the Oracle then who is it?
Best Answer
It's simple. He's dismissive of her supposed ability to see the future. Neither the Oracle or the Architect can see past human choice, just making probable chance/possibility statistics/computated results/educated guesses about how humans will react or of they succeed. Neo being the proof that they can't (he chooses to save Trinity and succeeds against all reasonable belief).
The please is about her title, not her status of matrix Co creator. Notice that a few sentences earlier he says that it took someone "not as smart" or "not as perfect" as himself to figure it out, a psychology program (i.e. the Oracle).
The Architect is pretty condescending and dismissive the entire conversation in the first place.
