1. A certain architecture (e.g. a module that enables syntactic processing) is not knowledge about the world.
2. We model the world according to our capabilities.
3. Modular language models have been tried, but did not meet with success.
4. The link you include is about the conceptual space, which is not (directly) related to human syntactic processing.
5. The question is not about metaphors, but about reality.
6. Babies aren't born with a base model and fine-tuned. They learn. This is the metaphor NNs are actually based on.
