It's not the case at all - years ago we tested Pong with human neurons vs mouse neurons, and human neurons performed better. More importantly, they allow the study of the effect of external interventions (such as trial medicines) on the learned function of human neurons. So we spent years building a machine and software platform to facilitate this sort of research.

The Doom project is mostly a bit of fun that demonstrates how quickly someone new to the field can see real results with our platform. Our data scientists believe that biological learning was demonstrated in this case.
