FTA: [S]ynaptic components are short-lived while memories last lifetimes. This suggests synaptic information is encoded and hard-wired at a deeper, finer-grained molecular scale. It suggests nothing of the sort. It just as easily could mean that memories are stored at a shallower, coarser-grained scale. Raindrops are short-lived, yet rivers last thousands of years. Does that mean we can't model hydrodynamics without accounting for quantum mechanics in the H2O molecule?
