To be clear, that doesn't refute the point I am making.

For anyone who suspects it might (I'm not sure how...) consider this: a model of the Titanic (or a replica, for that matter) is not the Titanic. A model of your brain would neither be your brain nor necessarily a brain at all, but whether it could think is a different question.

I was only observing that while the model of a thing is not always that thing, sometimes it is.
