the caveat is that we are not learning those small number of samples from scratch, since we're coming in with a large amount of training already, much of it from before we were even born

I've seen a few videos about people having their girlfriend/dad/etc play very simple video games for the very first time. It's a really great example of this. The most basic, simple, mechanics are difficult for them, and take surprising repetition to remember, because they have zero framework around any of it. It's really similar to watching a genetic algorithm learn to play Mario, but on fast forward.
