On academic subjects I tend to favor accuracy over readability, sorry. Professional habit.
That’s a bad argument. We’re discovering new things at a remarkable pace, including both information about how the brain works and new ways to do even basic computations.
There’s also the fact that “emulate a human brain using silicon wafers” is not an especially high research priority outside of science fiction, nor is that how this kind of bioengineering problem works. You start by emulating parts of the brain, such as with this project, and gradually the knowledge you accrete and technology you perfect make the bigger project possible.
