Even still, we shouldn't state theoretical extrapolations as if they are facts. It's the difference between saying "x is caused by y" and "I think x is probably caused by y".
Sure, but atoms are an extremely good approximation to the truth in the regime in which human brains operate.

Yeah? Like what?

Of course. Until we have a full understanding of the human brain, there will be things about its behavior about which we must extrapolate (that's what "not having a full understanding" means). But I'm extrapolating from some pretty damned good data and some pretty damned solid math. So I am highly confident in this extrapolation.
