    If I were to tell you this comment was written on an iPhone, you would not be surprised. If I told you it was written on a Burroughs B5000, you would be.

    To the degree computers can teach us about brains, there's no reason to believe that more brain volume means more brain power. Or to the degree all things aren't being equal.
