Because of repetitive patterns in each brain region, capturing every detail is not necessary to reverse engineer the significant digital-analog algorithms.
Unresolvable The public record could not settle it.
Factual: Statements about the present or the past, checked against the record: did they hold up?
Reasoning
Whether detail is unnecessary to reverse engineer significant algorithms is a vague, untestable-in-principle claim.
