A simple counter example here is instinctual behaviour. A sea turtle is born, and with little to no guidance, experimentation, or exploration heads to the sea. That knowledge is embedded at birth.

I think the analogy of the brain as hardware devices ("neural processor", "I/0 devices", etc) is misleading. I think I understand the very strict mind-matter dualism you're alluding to here. But so far attempts at using actual computer hardware to reproduce human-like cognition has gotten nowhere close, despite consuming order of magnitude more energy and data.
