Agent smiths differ from the other Agents

Heres one for ya. Smith could'nt have known that Neo/Trinity were part of the Trinity program and Neo would be able to be revived when he shot him in that hallway. He shot him in cold blood knowing full well he'd die. But did he know he was The One for that cycle? If so, he would've been majorly screwing things over by killing The One before he was able get to the source.

Really I see a couple of theories.

1. Neo is born The One. His whole life is the result of the anomoly. In which case MxO's designation as him being part of the Trinity program is pretty darn lucky. Not only is he 1 in a billion for being part of a centuries long research project but also part of the 1% of the population who reject The Matrix as well as being 1 in a billion for being The One. Pretty special guy.

Problem with this being Smith as his equal and opposite. Smith existed before Neo was even born. Unless The One somehow choses a being to act as a counter on creation, I doubt this can be a possibility.

2. Following the above except for the fact The One program remains entirely dormant until release, at which time it chooses an opposite. Smith just so happened to be the one Neo jumped into upon revival.

3. Neo is born as a human being who happens to be part of the Trinity program, he is made The One later by The Oracle (who is in charge of the cycle, selecting a carrier of The One program when it's natural culmination has reached critical). She targets Neo specifically due to being part of the Trinity program. She knows full well the two candidates will fall in love (a little nudge never hurt) and mess up the cycle. Smith is either selected specifically as the counter or is bi-product as mentioned above.
