You have to remember that if the human brain could have been replaced by
a technological substitute, SR would have said something about it.
I have interpreted this to mean that the biological neural network is so
complex that what cyber/bioware can do to it is limited. This is
especially considering that most neural cyberware (even the tactical
computer) are not as invasive as that needed for the addition of sonar.
Also, just because something was published on the Net, doesn't make it
correct. Most Net SR material is a joke (the NERP material is an
exception). Hence to argue that cyber bat radar is already published on
the Net is meaningless. I'm arguing from an neurological and
neuroanatomical point of view, including ideas about the extent of
technology in the SR world.
