or that others simply lack a certain awareness of things like the importance of enculturation or socialisation or simply how a brain works and what happens when cells deteriorate. or how the human memory works ;)

let me put it this way:

brain cells work in concert my making connections between one another, the more often these connections are used, the stronger that path becomes, that is how humans learn. you may be able to reconstruct the cells but you are not able to reconstruct the neural connections, as those are the direct result of all your previous experiences. Aka: your personality.

with brain damage setting in quite early, we do not even have to debate wether the necrons would be able to reconstruct him, they would get a primarch like being, which was something we agreed on several posts back.
