that's actually different from saying the brain is a computer. That's the metaphor I think is inaccurate.

Yeah, we disagree. When you say computer are you aware that a computer doesn't mean only a von Neumann machine tho?

I don't want to convince you either way but to me 100% the brain is a computer by definition of a computer.

A computer is literally defined by the functions a brain carries out. Turing defined it that way based on the WW2 computers who were women.

I don't intend or even want to "convert" you to my opinion or ideas, but if you are curious about what I think or some historical detail...
