astonished that anyone knowledgeable could claim that neural nets are (obviously) an “abstraction of neural processing” when we don’t yet know how brains work. if you don’t know how Y works you can’t really speak with certainty about whether X is an abstraction of Y.

The tweet you replied to is: "... you may believe ANNs miss critical biological details, cool, that's a legit position to take. But why pretend that ANNs are not an abstraction of neural processing?... " So, no claim as to usefulness/correctness, just that it's an abstraction.
i took it to be a claim that it is a bona fide abstraction. (& some tweets tried to argue that.) if you just want to claim it is an *attempt* at an abstraction, fine. but the road to neuroscience is littered with many failed attempts, hydraulics, telephone exchanges, etc.
