No. You need to compare boot times with how quickly a primate acquires skills after birth. As TFA states, one-year old chimp kids are as good as three-year old human kids at numeric tasks. However, after that they don't get much better, whereas human kids do. Similarly, your ZX Spectrum in the end has less capabilities than a modern PC.

Roughly speaking, in the womb, our wetware is built. After birth, it is initialized.
