it wasn't that they killed just any old smith by unplugging neo. all the smiths were connected. and the machines got to all of them through neo.

so? just looks like a side part of the matrix. like a backdoor, as you said. not that he had to unplug from one matrix to get to the other matrix to unplug again. remember that he wasn't plugged in the first place. hard to explain how i see it....but it's not a matrix in the matrix, it's part of it...or to the side of it.... or under it... whatever.
