I am still unclear however about their implication.

If we buy into the concept that "the computer is the network", we must
conclude that a computer can grow as large as we like, because there are no
obvious logical or physical limits to the growth of a network.

Sure, adjacent nodes and modules will speak more often and much faster to
one another than polar opposed ones.

But I suspect this to be true also in existing organic brains and networks.
