But there may yet be more brain states than number of possible thoughts by the finite humans.

If nothing else, you could only avoid that with an absurdly precise definition of "brain"; any practical definition of "brain" is very likely to include matter that is physically irrelevant to at least some thoughts. I hedged with "1m^3" because the argument goes through even if you take the entire body to be the brain.
