I'm with you, I also found Turing's argument that his machine model captures all of computation very convincing and pointed that out in another thread.

However, for this argument to work, we need to accept both that all computation is captured by Turing machines, and also that what Turing machines do is in fact computable. In essence, Turing machine <=> realizable machine. Maybe some people are more impressed by one, others more by the other direction of that double implication.
