Unfortunately, I can never prove you wrong. But that simply leads us into a paradox that will never end. Take, for example, the lame brain theory that zion is in a separate matrix aside from the current one. I happen to think that this would be a horrible direction to take with the movie, but it does bring up a point that I should make to you. If I was to give you a pill and you were to somehow awaken into another world, how could you be so sure that the new world was real? You couldn't. How do you even know that the new world isn't a dream your having, enduced by the pill itself? And if you again find your way out of that world, what makes you so sure that the world you find yourself in is not again just some illusion. In other words, I can't prove this world is real, but you can't prove any other world exists. And if you can, you can't prove that THAT world is real.

But hey, maybe we are all just God's dream and when he wakes up we will vanish like a popped bubble. Sounds like the makings of a great movie to me.
