I dunno. I don't think it really makes that much of a difference either way. Sure, just plain "GAK!"may be more a more technically accurate reflection of the film, but the whole "pseudo" business makes a good running gag, plus is a nice sort of commentary on the writing if you care to analyse it that deeply; sure, we all know he dies, but even when watching it for the first time, did anyone actually for a moment doubt that Neo would somehow survive anyway? A subtle critique of inevitable cliché, if you will.
