can two potentials develop their skills at once...

... so to speak in the same generation of the matrix? that would make them both the one...

i mean those kids were skilled too. are they the halves or what are they? anomalies? why are they weaker than neo/why dont the become ones?

i think, that they were somekinds of skilled people.
Like mutants.

Maybe all the orphans simply have a greater awareness or a more "free" mind which allows them to do all kinds of nifty stuff within the matrix without beig the one. Like the oracle sais to Neo, "You've got the gift...", and so do the orphans.

they were skilled but they didnt have AS MUCH postential as neo
