Unfortunately that's nothing but BS, though. The brain is one of the energy hungriest organs of the body, and while these days food is (too) plentiful in many parts of the world, in the past it wasn't so nor it is so everywhere in the world even today, and there's not a snowball's chance in hell that evolution would have develop a high energy organ that only runs at 12% efficiency.

I actually liked it quite a lot, which surprised me tremendously because normally I'd hate it when the good guy talks endlessly to the bad guy during a fight. However, something about this just clicked. Maybe the fact he really didn't have a chance and had to do it, like you said, making it much more plausible, and also the way he appealed to her. It showed he honestly cares for Index, and it wasn't a lecture as much as calling their BS, yet without offering some better uber solution, which would have been unrealistic considering he knows next to nothing about the situation.
