if you take any system and break it down you get to simple building blocks (like memory). Then you claim that it isn't "outthinking" but "out remembering". Sorry, but what do you think the brain is doing? Not using memory? Especially working memory. How about frequency, brain is operating in Hz whereas most processors are in GHz, etc.

Finally if we were to think in terms of a proper memory/latency hierarchy, what's a Model + CPU's equivalent of working memory? Registers? L1 cache?
