In principle I agree with you, but unfortunately we already know from other research that specific neuro-transmitters have specific effects on observable thought processes. Some neurons also sometimes 'broadcast' neuro transmitters by releasing them in an area around them, not just through direct synapses.

To me it would be highly surprising if these effects were not absolutely necessary to the brain's working.
