No. ( the response is brisk - matter of fact, but not unkind. kitty is taking her time, and trying to understand, so mila is willing to take her time explaining to someone young and thoughtful. ) What I'm saying is that being in the Matrix does not change the way our brains work.
The things that we can do when we're connected to machines are related to specific aptitudes that we each have, but ultimately we are human beings, with all the physical and psychological limitations that that entails. When we are connected in that way, we are part of something that is able to surpass those limitations, temporarily enabling us to also do so.
But it doesn't change what we are, or how we work. And that's why, when we're unplugged, we don't retain the information and experiences in the same way as we do when plugged in. There is a reason why operatives train for combat in the real, as well - what their minds know in the matrix means nothing to the muscle memory and physical requirements that can only be achieved by actually achieving them. And that's a benefit to them, when they're working. More than the other way around.
