Expose the same neuron to the same input N times and you won't get a randomly distributed range of outputs, you'll get a signal that is either attenuated or potentiated. That's not noise, that's the simplest form of neuroplasticity at work (which is why static parameters can never represent ion channels).
Perhaps, but they inherently have imprecision due the nature of being biological. Expose the same neuron to the same input N times, and you'll get a range of output. The effect of noisy analog data is, broadly speaking, similar to the effect of low-resolution digital data.
