Perhaps, but they inherently have imprecision due the nature of being biological. Expose the same neuron to the same input N times, and you'll get a range of output. The effect of noisy analog data is, broadly speaking, similar to the effect of low-resolution digital data.

That's not noise, that's the simplest form of neuroplasticity at work (which is why static parameters can never represent ion channels).
