I was agreeing with you. And we are arguing from the same side. My comment was more directed at how the meta-opinion in Hackernews generally struggles to step outside of the computational model, or into other possible theories of mind (or memory) developed by philosophers like Wittgenstein, Dennett, or Hacker; and, the result is usually forcing the computer analogy in ways that assumes a kind of blunt physicalism, like the discrete parts of a computer, and often nonsense, as you described. There is often disbelief expressed at the idea that you could use anything but software or computer analogies to describe how the brain functions, or the mind. The assumption is so strong that people do feel forced into the analogy simply because they also understand computers.
