Good point, the fine art that adorns the hallways of our chapels clearly shows what a bad comparison the OP makes.

Doc, how does it change your interpretation if Neo isn't the one but instead Agent Smith is?

15 minute YouTube video explaining the theory.

I'll take a look and get back to you!

ETA1: For anyone watching this clip forward to 1:51 to bypass “F” ing annoying ass bull crap and to actually start the video.
ETA2: 2:12 pause - I mean, Neo is an anagram for One. So. You know. You have that.
ETA3: Ok. Go to 3:36 to actually get to the theory and bypass nonsense Millennial narcissistic rambling.
ETA4: Holy “F”. Just go to 5:00 to start the breakdown. C'mon, X. Why you do this?

ETA5: This is interesting. 6:40 Agent Smith calls the Oracle "Mom". Why would he do that?
ETA6: 13:05 Oooooooohh. That makes sense. That. Makes. Sense. Mom be pimpin' n' trickin', yo.

ETA7: I'm a simple man and I'm easily influenced. I now believe the Oracle was the puppet master, Neo was the decoy, and Agent Smith was the unwitting pawn know as THE ONE.

Great video! I recommend fans to the movie watch it. Thanks, X.
