They can choose what they thought they were referencing. They don't get the opportunity to tell others what to infer.

True, but considering the popularity and age of The Matrix, I'm guessing most people assume the hot tech company is referencing techno futurist movie from the 90s and not a charlatan from the 70s.

beleive it or not I haven' t seen the matrix or related series. There is a possibility I may have seen the original.

I have known about psychics claiming to bend spoons seemingly forever

Screw the downvotes: you are correct. References are interpreted, full stop. Bending Spoons is just crappy.
