I agree that analog computing is probably more efficient, or can be more efficient if predictability is sacrificed. However, there are societal implications to this. We prefer the processing steps be traceable and dissactable for accountability and managing the distribution of tasks/parts in terms of accountability. We may not accept a higher degree of "rogue machines" to gain average efficiency. However, I suppose a given country or group could accept the tradeoff to gain a military advantage, which could spell chaos. They may accept a higher degree of rogue battle bots in order to win via average efficiency, or at least be willing to take the gamble that the theory is true. The chance of a high-stakes or borderline suicidal leader/dictator eventually coming on the scene is historically high, leading inadvertently to run-away human-flattening bots. Maybe that's the answer to the Fermi Paradox.
