You're assuming isolation. No feedback. It wouldn't perceive any missing time if it had no contact with the outer world. I think that's treating the brain as if it was just a computer.

Ahh, that's an excellent point; for any of my argument to stand, it would definitely require full isolation (akin to what the current Blue Brain has right now).
