There is no indication that brains are better at solving NP hard problems than computers.

That is not my argument at all. What I argue is that brains attempt to resolve the problem, while computers (when they pattern match in typical ML algorithm) do not.

It is possible that brain has specialized circuits to solve small instances of SAT, and it just gives up on large enough instance. I am sure you know the feeling that you get when you understand something - it's very much like the pieces of the puzzle that suddenly perfectly fit to each other.
