Exactly this. Show a human a thing for which it doesn't already have 10K hours of "training" and they won't do so well.

Monads might be a good example of a thing for which humans don't have a massive headstart on ML due to "years of experience manipulating monad-like things" (as we do for most physical and social concepts). And I don't think anyone one-shot learns a monad.
