    Well, no. I thought about editing this after the fact, but couldn't come up with a succinct summary of what neurons do on a high level. So I let this first impulse stand.

  Collectively neurons moderate their individual binary responses and together respond with more nuance to outside stimuli. Maybe that's the parallel she/he is trying to present?

  Neurons produced the modern world. I'd say they're doing a bit better at producing truth than all other matter in the known universe...
