The Matrix trilogy was awesome. Even appreciated the 2nd and 3rd was my favorite.
I know it's been disproven, but I still believe the matrix within a matrix theory holds true and it's way cooler to accept to explain certain things Neo can do in the "real" world.
But I will say humans as a battery is such a dumb solution, even from a thermodynamics perspective.
The original idea was that the humans were a part of the simulation itself. Basically their brains were needed to make the whole thing tick, which is way more interesting and plausible than as batteries. My head-cannon is that the rebels are just misinformed or don't exactly know enough about the Matrix itself to come to a different conclusion.
