Isn't the whole idea of the pen sale pitch that you basically have to ignore the pen?

Pen boy : Do not try and sell the pen. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth.

Neo : What truth?

Pen boy : There is no pen.

Neo : There is no pen?

Pen boy : Then you'll see, that it is not the pen that sells, it is only yourself.

Yes. As long as the answer doesn't focus on the pen itself then it's a good answer.
