Of course details matter. The trick is picking the /relevant/ details. 
I'm 99.99% sure we can ignore the details of neuronal microtubules, but 
99.999% sure that we can't ignore the details of axonal connections. 
It's a matter of picking the right layer/s of detail, and zooming in on 
that, but ignoring the wrong levels.

A big problem at the moment is that we're not sure what the right levels 
are, but we are getting more sure about the wrong ones, I think.
