[Matrix] Why can agents dodge bullets but not melee attacks?

If an agent is fast enough to dodge a bullet, they should be fast enough to be untouchable. And you can't tell me that red pill people punch faster than bullets, because if they did, they would leave gaping bullet hole wounds the size of their fists.

They can't always dodge bullets. They need to be able to see it coming. 

We also see them dodge and block *many* melee attacks. *Most*, in fact. 

And we're seeing them fighting people who are aware enough of the matrix to break the programming a bit. Not to Neo levels, but a bit -- so you're getting fists coming at you *really* fast from *really* close. That's harder than a predefined path of a bullet from a decent distance -- and, again, they still block or dodge the vast majority of them.
