You're right, I made a mistake in implying that the "Markram did a similar thing...". Specifically I'm criticizing trying to analyze the neural activity of entire brain regions. Neural simulation or actually trying to record neural activity wasn't really my point. I assume both currently have drawbacks weather its "not having accurate enough neural models for simulations" or "not sufficiently or accurately being able to record neural activity". Yes being able to run analysis in a few seconds instead of hours has real implications for experimental analysis but again the benefits of the technology were never under my criticism or skepticism. I suppose what I'm specifically alluding to is my criticism of trying to do such large scale analysis of neural activity itself given how little we know about what we should be trying to look for at such a scale. I say "we" but I should clarify I'm no neuroscientist.
