I'm going to regret resurrecting this thread, but I was watching The Matrix Reloaded (again; I do this every few months by instinct), and remembered.
Here's the relevant dialogue...
Quote:
From The Matrix Reloaded transcript
The Oracle: So it's really up to you. You just have to make up your own damn mind to either accept what I'm going to tell you, or reject it. Candy?
Neo: D'you already know if I'm going to take it?
The Oracle: Wouldn't be much of an Oracle if I didn't.
Neo: But if you already know, how can I make a choice?
The Oracle: Because you didn't come here to make the choice, you've already made it. You're here to try to understand why you made it. I thought you'd have figured that out by now.

It's an interesting--and different--frame to look at it.
