Neve conduction is actually a mixture of chemical and electrical
mechanisms, in vertebrates. The signal travels electrically in short
hops, and is then regenerated by a chemical process. Invertebrates have
propagation velocities of more like 1 metre / second.

It does not negate the argument, but nerve impulses are based on chemical
reactions in neurons, and only travel at about 120 metres per second.
