The answer can be “both”.

They won’t get this specific question wrong again; but also they generalise, once they have sufficient examples. Patching out a single failure doesn’t do it. Patch out ten equivalent ones, and the eleventh doesn’t happen.

Yeah, the interpolation works if there are enough close examples around it. Problem is that the dimensionality of the space you are trying to interpolate in is so incomprehensibly big that even training on all of the internet, you are always going to have stuff that just doesn't have samples close by.
