easyIntroduction To Neural Networks

A textbook describes a biological neuron by mapping its parts to a perceptron: dendrites receive signals, the cell body sums them, and the axon fires if the sum exceeds a threshold. A student uses this analogy to argue that increasing the number of dendrites (input connections) on a neuron will always improve classification accuracy. What is wrong with this reasoning?
