It could very well be that statistics and tokens is how our brains work at the computational level too. Just that our algorithms have slightly better heuristics due to all those millennia of A/B testing of our ancestors.

Except we know for a fact that the brain doesn’t work that way. You’re ignoring the entire history of neuroscience.
I didn't know that neuroscience even claimed to a full enough understanding of how people think to conclusively disprove this.
Certainly not a full understanding, but there’s enough understanding to refute vague claims that we are somehow analogous to a text model.
