Was rewatching the Chateau fight from The Matrix Reloaded, and it got me to wondering: do you suppose that in the Matrix, the Audible Sharpness trope is "real", and no one thinks anything of it? And those who leave are surprised when they swing or throw things and they don't make any sound?

("The first Matrix used visual FX... 'BIFF', 'POW' and so on. It was a disaster.")
