About This Quote

This quote is most likely referring to the idea of generic solutions. If there is one simple solution to a problem, then that solution has already been worked on. That means that the solution may not be as simple as it seems. This quote comes from the movie The Matrix.

There, Neo learns that there is no spoon. He goes through the process of searching for the spoon and it either does not exist or cannot be found. In the end, he finds a key and uses that key to open a door.

In other words, Neo figured out a way to get his hands on something he needed, but before he could go through with those plans, he had to walk away from those plans and take a different path.
