We do need to hypothesize why Morpheus doesn't understand the laws of thermodynamics.
Then again, Morpheus could be lying. Perhaps the question is why he thought Neo would believe a statement involving a violation of thermodynamics. For that matter, maybe the question is why Morpheus told Neo an obvious lie.
Shortly after we see Neo trained to ignore the laws of physics - jumping, karate, etc. I took it to be preparation for that.
But he's doing it in the Matrix. It's like telling someone that there's life after death, to prepare them for extra lives in a video game.
