You can certainly generalized previously gained knowledge without direct experience in that particular instance.
Would a child who has never experienced the human body's pain response be able to infer the causal connection between the heat of a stove and the response after touching it?
Arguably, language is a tool that allows us to generalize the direct experience of other agents. It is unclear if it is possible to remove direct interaction from a learning system and still reach the same level of understanding.
