> How much time do you need to familiarize yourself with a new entity, like an unknown glyph or symbol?
I think you look at your subjects wrong - don't pretend your computer is an adult (which had learned most of its life) - rather consider him an infant learning letters/digits/objects for the first time.
Doing so you might come across a similar learning curve to the one you have described. With the additional case we (or at least I) don't know how to bring the computer to the level of a fully grown man.
As for the problem presented in CNN, if the problem is not having the structure, why not gray-scale the structure as a secondary level for the CNN?
I'm not really from the field so excuse me if this was complete BS
