In programming terms, evolution is not known for producing well-factored designs with clean interfaces, as the phrasing here would imply.

True enough, but there are still roughly definable regions and roughly definable functions. The degree to which this is clearly reflected in the underlying neurology is unknown.

We need to distinguish between computers, and the electronic devices that have become popular. The brain is clearly the first, and clearly not the second.
