I'm sure not 'aware' of this 'fact'.

Well, here's a fact about the brain alone:

The complexity of the task requires a fairly inconceivable 100 billion neurons, interconnected via trillions of synapses. A single firing neuron might communicate to thousands of others in a single moment. No computer comes close to the complexity of these communicating bits of organic matter.

If anything, I was understating the case.
