The thing that bugs me about people comparing technologies to how the brain works or saying their technology is built like the brain is that yes, the brain has processing units that are connected, but the timing and speed of those connections is critical in the brain working properly. In large part this is mediated by the myelin sheath. If something happens to the myelin, like in multiple sclerosis, the brain starts malfunction even though the same connections are still there.
