Either that or (like some brain scientists say) something is really, really wrong or suboptimal about the human brain.
Despite prospects of brain uptime--that's LE--being around 77.71 years for each individual of the USAmerican population and the "entire history" of computers being shorter than that.
I see where your "brain scientists" are driving at. Let them have a P9-on-x86 transplant for those mouldy clumps in their crania. I'll be happy to have all their "clumps."
