I don't think it's remotely reasonable to extrapolate making a simulation of 302 neurons wiggle a simulation of a simple muscular structure without full understanding of the wiggle process to making a simulation of 90 billion neurons produce outputs which resemble expressions of human cognition without an incredible depth of knowledge of a connectome structure that shows more variation in an individual over the course of a day than C.Elegans does within the entire species, and how that relates to long term memory storage and a mind-bogglingly complex array of sensory inputs and outputs.

Why do you?

It seems akin to suggesting that if I can teach my dog to respond to "sit" despite it lacking human emotion or innate grammar, it seems only reasonable to believe my dog can also learn to respond appropriately to the complete works of Shakespeare. Come to think of it, I'd place more faith in our ability to train our pets to write software than our ability to create a human brain emulation so accurate it's like adding another developer to the team.
