This reminds me of the DeepMind bit where the AI beat human players despite not knowing about the edifice of built up knowledge in that domain. I'd expect that an AI could be a great chess player with enough gameplay info and not knowing particular strength scoring, types of famous defenses, etc. In some ways the way that humans have constructed these relationships may actually make learning more difficult. We certainly don't teach 3-year olds about theta criterion, we just speak in 'correct' language and may correct them when they make mistakes.
