I don't understand what makes you think humans operate anything like Turing machines to begin with.

The only way I see to reach this conclusion is to assume Turing machines are all that exist, and the conclusion follows.

Physics (as far as we know) is calculable and can be simulated with a Turing machine. Humans reside within the domain of physics.

Basically, either humans operate like Turing machines, or we're magic.
