Well sure. My point was that there’s countless additional factors to consider, beyond just physical structure. Those feedback loops may be slow, but there’s plenty of evidence that they influence aspects of cognition quite strongly. On the flip side, a lot of current research about brain function is built on fMRI scans which monitor blood flow changes to exact locations in the brain, but necessarily at a long temporal distance from the actual “decisions” being made. So yes I think we agree that it’s all more complicated than anyone can even comprehend just yet.
