Clearly you haven't worked on an old buggy codebase. Sure that function has a bug, but the rest of the codebase has adapted to it and worked around it. If the function suddenly doesn't have a bug, dozens of other functions will fail in new and strange ways.
The brain would work in a very similar way. If a neuron has a mutation that effects it's function, surrounding neurons would adapt to that.
