I'm uncomfortable with the phrase "Human Equivalent" because I think we
are very far from understanding what that phrase even means.  We don't

not just spikes, it's not just EEG rhythms.  I understand we'll never
know for certain, but at the moment, the possibility of guesstimating
within even an order of magnitude seems premature.
