It's more like the brain is a network of computers dedicated to specific tasks. While any
arbitrary computer might be able to take over some part of the tasks of an adjacent
computer, the most efficient way to go is to use the dedicated unit. If a given unit is really
large, it can do its task really well, but there's only so much physical space available in
your head, so if there's a larger-than-average unit there, there's bound to be one or more
smaller-than-average units also, and if they're too small, they can't do their assigned task
very well. If they don't exist, some other unit has to take over, with drastically reduced
efficiency.
