Perhaps a good way to summarize all this is something like “qualitatively similar models probably work well for brains and neural networks”. I agree to a large extent with that claim (though there was a time when I would have agreed much less), and I think that’s the main thing you need for the rest of the post.
“Ways we understand” comes across as more general than that—e.g. we understand via experimentally probing physical neurons vs spectral clustering of a derivative matrix.
