So, concerning "bake your noodle" … has anybody commented that, if indeed a reference to the Matrix, that it's a "disinformation necessary" comment too.

What did the Oracle tell Neo ("You're nice kid, but you're not the one")

Was Neo the prophesied one? (Yes, that's why he was the main char.)

Reconcile. Why did the Oracle tell him that … Morpheus, was it, said "She told you what you needed to hear!"

IE, if Neo had gone into those battles haughty and cock-sure, he would have, in his inexperience, gotten himself killed. He needed to hang on to his humility long enough to fully unlock his understanding of the Matrix. (Bullet scene, "no.")

Disinformation is necessary; you have more than you know.
