I don’t see any reason why Morpheus should understand the laws of thermodynamics.
It’s not just Morpheus. If anyone in Zion understands it, they know that that’s not why the machines are really keeping people. If nobody in Zion understands it, then how are they building working machines?
If you know ANYTHING about building working machines, you should know that most of the people that build them have no clues about the laws of thermodynamics.
Engineering is much more a respecter of intuition and trial and error than it is of theories.
One would expect a culture of a very limited number of free humans going up against a vastly materially and intelligently superior enemy to be primarily a raiding culture, anyway. Otherwise they haven’t a prayer.
The machines… they steal the machines that can’t fight backk, retool them to their purposes. With all the things in the movie that don’t make sense, that part does.

How can they be a raiding culture? Who do they raid?
