NO. As historical counter examples there are the Neural net based computer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perceptrons
And where is a contradiction? A first two paragraphs on that page describing a principles on which it built. And then, you saying that you can't predict how it behaves after you built it using these principles?
which was built as a machine, or the homeostat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeostat (ditto).
