"The brain is not a computer" != "Parts / aspects of the brain do computation".
"A computer" in the first statement is IMO obviously intended in the common usage sense of the term, i.e. the brain is not a desktop computer or smartphone, or Turing machine, or etc, and thinking of it like these things will cause more error than insights. Also, billions of interlinked mini bio quantum computers arguably produce something with emergent properties and behaviour much, much more complex than "a computer". I am with GP, the analogy to "a computer" is not super helpful here unless you highly restrict the meaning.
But yeah, the Shereshevsky case is a super interesting one, thanks for linking!

No one has ever thought that a brain is a desktop computer, and that is not the common usage sense of the term in this context.
