He thinks that neuroscience should take a page from astronomy and just see what the heck is out there. He thinks they are trying to make detailed hypotheses about function and structure and everything else on far far too little data right now and we need a lot more data on the actual structures before we can be confident about much about them other than the mere fact that they correspond to function.

Upvoted especially for this.
