That was not a delicate operation (and Phineas Gauge survived having his skull pierced in an accident that also damaged his brain, so even that is possible). I am not sure if this has any bearing on the answer, but you really should not imagine psychosurgery as a particularly benign or delicate procedure. | |

If you smash open the case and rip out the hard drive while it's still powered up, you may very well short out and destroy the whole system. | |

| Oct 18, 2018 at 23:28 | comment | added | jpmc26 | @enorl76 "People can get a partial lobotomy and still function" Perhaps, but those people did not have their skulls crushed and the brain forcibly ripped apart. (I'm sure there are exceptions, but those are still major traumas that would surprise no one if the person had died.) It was delicately removed via scalpel with protective and repetitive efforts planned and executed. That would be what Shuri is doing. Thanos, on the other hand, is doing something more akin to breaking it out with a jackhammer, as shown in the image. | |
| Oct 18, 2018 at 19:58 | comment | added | enorl76 | Granted. I'm trying to point out a what looks like a plot hole, or maybe it isn't. The analogy of a hard drive could work, if the mind stone were the only thing powering Vision's intelligence is my point. | |

| Oct 18, 2018 at 19:24 | comment | added | enorl76 | When the proposal was put forth about separating the Mind Stone, I imagined Vision simply falling back to a Jarvis mind-set, possibly with a lot less self awareness or instigating thoughts, and being more reactive like an AI typically is. | |
| Oct 18, 2018 at 19:22 | comment | added | enorl76 | The analogy of the hard drive doesnt work so well... If that hard drive was one of four (Stark, Banner, Jarvis, Mind Stone) as Banner conjectured, might not cause a problem. If we look at the physicality of it, was Vision being run entirely by the Mind Stone? People can get a partial lobotomy and still function... others with epilepsy have had the middle bridge between left and right hemispheres physically separated (done to withhold propagation of seizures) and can conduct normal lives. | |
