This is because the two systems are extremely different.
In the brain memory is localized and bundled with processing. Could a neuroscientist figure out how a program works by damaging memory cells in the ROM that holds it? Sounds a lot more probable right?
- monocasa 9y agoThere's tons of different kinds of memory intertwined with combinatorial logic in a 6502. Close to half the chip is ROM or latches, all implemented with transistors. And the main part of the paper is that destructive tests in large systems have weird cascading failures that don't generally point to the purpose of the component that failed. Combining that with a domain where you don't have great feedback into the veracity of your conclusions leads to specious results at best.
