To compound the problem I think a lot of people suffer from a lack of understanding of their lack of understanding.
Being ignorant of what nervous tissue really works like is largely a transitory problem if one stays with it long enough, but "knowing" that it's just like an artificial neural net, or standard electrical circuit design with funky clocking and some memristor gates, is potentially devastating.
And if I may be allowed a personal remark, it's refreshing in that context to see your humility about the matter. BSc + some years in the lab may not be a researcher's career but it substantial, and more than most have to show. Liked your comments. I'll be looking for more of them whenever topics like these come up.
