This seems like the appropriate response to the article. In fact, the article is even factually wrong on the matter of what we're born with, and it's even wrong on what it considers "information".
I suspect this misunderstanding of "information" is the core of the confusion. He needs to revisit physics and learn some computer science, because information and physics are inextricably intertwined, so the brain very much operates on information using rules.
Edit: and further, the brain is a finite state automaton due to the Bekenstein Bound, a physics theorem.
