This is a controversial statement, but I'll let it pass.

Our brain predicts which module might fail next while maintaining a
large code base - with reasonable accuracy. Why can't it be done
through neural networks?

It *can* be done with neural networks. It can also be done with Turing
machines, since you're requiring only "reasonable" accuracy, and not perfect
accuracy.

    ... If you mean a form of neural networks that can be implemented on any ordinary computer, then you are wrong; neural networks can't do anything that's not possible with a Turing machine. ... it's clear that neither the human brain nor any kind of computer can give an exact answer in the general case. ...
