Well xor is linearly inseparable, which is impossible with a single perceptron.

Do you see where that causes an issue with supervenience? Especially when mixed with STDP which could change that more?
It is confusing the map with the territory. At least with the extreme strength of their claim.
having a single neuron that has learned xor != understanding xor
Function approximation is trivial, understanding of what said functions can do and when to use them is much harder (though is arguably still function approximation)
