A network should be no more complex than it needs to be. If you're not pruning spurious interactions then you're implicitly assuming that each interaction is information bearing. If you're not pruning spurious interactions from holographic networks then you're assuming that they're all functionally relevant. I promise you they're not. You're also assuming that holographic networks are somehow necessary for most of the tasks we require. The human brain, while having billions of neurons is still quite sparsely connected.
