Default Surviving 1.8m bar through skull

Thought I would post this bit of news:

Brazil worker Eduardo Leite survives 1.8m bar through skull | News.com.au

Quote:
..He said the bar entered a "non-eloquent" area of the brain , an area that doesn't have a specific, major known function...
I guess there isn't any major news here but why have evolution granted us a major "non-eloquent" area of brain? I think there are several weak points in the theory of evolution.

Made me thinking of something I heard about a "valve" between both half's of the brain that opens if blood-support is lost to one part of the brain. I guess if one of the jugular veins are opened.
Maybe a bit simplistic described, but maybe someone here knows more about it.

That bar must surely have done more neural damage than tearing a blood vessel.

Yeah in this particular case most certainly.
My reflection was more a general recollection of something I read when thinking about brain-related injuries and how we survive them.
