> ML is still a rather naive form of constrained brute forcing. It's a long way short of efficient learning.

Uh... Bayesian can do the above at in term of expert domain. They call it elicitation in the Bayesian world.

I think you're overall generalizing all learning techniques. And also it's not like we actually really know how the human brain learn. Psychology is a field with huge uncertainties and you can see that in their research papers with correlation values. So the concept of learning may be out dated and/or we are still learning about what makes us learn.
