From what he explained, the job of reverse engineering a biological mind is looking much easier than expected—there’s no need to grovel around at the level of single neurons, since the functional units are bunches of neurons, and they implement algorithms that are recognizable from conventional AI.
Yes, but when we got into detail about how this might work and what the difficulties might be, I had some significant objections that weren’t answered.

This sounds like a statement made by some hopeful neuromodeler looking for funding rather than a known truth of science.
You want the details? Ask the pirate, not the parrot.
Rawwrk. Pieces of eight.
