Okay, I understand your point I think. The analogy does not sit great with me. The cellular biology seems to me to be one of the most basic aspects of even starting to understand how the brain actually works. It's all mechanics without any semantics. As an extreme analogy, it's almost like saying leaves and money work the same way - they're both thin & green.
IMO, the analogy of how neural networks work as does the cellular biology is only useful as an analogy. They are not actually similar, and certainly the higher order functionality is not similar (namely because we don't know how that higher order functionality works, like we don't understand it _at_ _all_)
