I think you'll find that a lot of people agree with you, myself included. I don't think the smart money is in biological models, though it might be where the easy money is. The model we're using has no origins in biology nor do we try and make it have characteristics of biological systems -- the idea is to design intelligent systems, not clone a brain. Solving the general problem of intelligence in the theoretical sense doesn't really involve knowing anything about wetware. I view it as a case of having an answer that doesn't tell you much because nobody knows the question. For me, checkpointing designs against biological systems is mostly a curiosity.
