The truth is Neo chucked a grenade in the controll room killing the arch, if you argue that the controll was in a construct not bound by the normall rules of the matrix and would be secure you gota ask yourself why was he flying out then?
Sort of like the trainmans construct.
But with all grenade tossing aside I assumed he trigged the bomb

The fire appeared to be "coming from behind him", not "coming from him", a big difference. It seemed to me that he was using his bullet-time skillz to get away from it. If you recall, the scene changed to a view of the building from the outside, where we saw the entire floor of the building explode at once (as if a bomb went off), with the flames spewing out of the building from all sides, and then you saw Neo come flying out. So while there were some flames behind him, they also appeared to be generated from multiple points within the building (i.e. from a bomb) as he was trying to escape. Yes, the auxillary power was taken down by Trinity at the beginning, which would've prevented the bomb from going off, but the power could've easily brought back up in the meantime while Neo was chatting it up w/ the Architect. Also, take note that as soon as Neo gets out of the building and starts flying to save Trinity, all the buildings are lit up -- they have power. This would not be the case unless the backup power had been restored, which would have, in turn, lead to the bomb.

This would not be the case unless the backup power had been restored, which would have, in turn, lead to the bomb. The building Neo flew out of was completely dark. We've seen it with the power on, several of its rooms are lit up when it is on. Neo was flying at an extremely fast speed. By the time we saw him, he most likely left the 27 blocks whose power was off. And I find it interesting that you're saying that the people who worked on that scene are wrong.

True, but if the bomb had gone off, it likely would've taken out the power again, no? Neo was flying at an extremely fast speed. By the time we saw him, he most likely left the 27 blocks whose power was off. Possibly, but hard to say. And I find it interesting that you're saying that the people who worked on that scene are wrong. Still, nobody has to accept them. Well, since you didn't provide any direct link to what you quoted from the special effects crew, I really don't know what they actually said, vs. your interpretation of what they said. Besides, most things about the Matrix are open to interpretation anyway.
