Neo said what he meant to say. The fact that he now wishes to dissemble does not change what he said...nor what he meant to say and convey. Neo is more than capable of qualifying his statements as they are made...

He said EXACTLY what he meant to say. AND it is what he believes. There is no moral quality to how much one does or does not learn and retain. One cannot be immoral to oneself...because self belongs to self...

"For example, it is shameful to be an ignoramus, but it is not self- evident what stock of knowledge we ought to expect of adults in various walks of life..."

In other words...there is a "stock of knowledge" which one "OUGHT" to expect as we judge the morality of people in "various walks of life". To equate morality with ones "stock of knowledge" is simply reprehensible...
