It's clear that overtime human beings can think about things that they didn't used to be able to think about. We can bootstrap our brains in this way, because it is all cumulative. Explaining the Internet to someone from the Middle Ages would be almost impossible, but it wouldn't be that difficult for someone from the 1950s who only understood telephones.
So this phenomenon of bootstrapping into new kinds of knowledge is clearly real and powerful. It's very useful and quite meta to think about how we could do that faster or better.
I think it's quite possible. "In the future, by pressing fingers on these letters printed on a specially built rectangular object in a pattern to invoke certain incantations, people will be able to speak directly to other people from around the world, as well as control machines in factories to produce stuff with little or no manual labor." Do make it clear you have no part in any of it, to avoid getting hanged or burned, but I'm sure they'll understand you.
Even today, most people wouldn't get how a car functions, but they would understand that you push this and turn that and this moves you.
