Let's call him Loki, and suppose he doesn't need food, water, sleep, and love. You have Loki watch thousands of books all day, every single day, for 20 years non-stop. You don't teach him anything about grammar, and you never explain what English words mean. -> -> Now imagine you come back two decades later and, under the library's locked door, you slip a piece of paper that says, "Hello Loki, what's your favorite color?" -> -> Do you expect Loki to understand your question? -> -> Loki may recall your question from one of the dialogues he'd previously seen.
