Good point, except that one might consider that it would be more efficient to meet in cyberspace, where there is no need to reveal Zion's true location if being monitored, nor any need to actually travel real geographic distance.  It's like meeting up online, basically.  Morpheus was no more "fake" for Neo having met him through the Matrix than the Oracle was, right?

So, consider the Matrix a window into far locations that can be used and visited for more than one kind of purpose...for both humans that recognize the strengths and weaknesses, and for the Sentient programs as well.

The one hitch to this is why there should have been anyone ELSE just "sitting around" in the Oracle's "apartment."  I can see if folks also looking for answers convened there in cyber space, but to have those kids just hanging around, there's no reason for that at all.  That actually lends more credence to your idea than my attempt to rationalize it. ;-D
