The argument as I understand it is more about speed limits. Human thought is limited to the speed at which the underlying chemical reactions in neurons can happen. But a simulation of a neuron is only limited by the speed of the computation involved. If you can perfectly model a neuron at 100x the speed of the physical world, it becomes just a question of resources whether you can think at 100x the speed.
