To do this, they don't have to operate exactly like a human brain, they just have to operate on similar general principles. For the goal of developing medical interventions, you would indeed need to have higher simulation fidelity (somewhere between LODf and LODn in my newly invented jargon).

So why do I worry whether or not we are committing a fallacy? Just want to establish in my mind a point of inquiry: isn’t the purpose
