You are assuming the program found via the reverse engineering process is human understandable.… what if it is a strange cellular automata with odd rules. Or an algorithm with parameters you don’t know why they are what they are.
Language is an important part of learning for humans. Imagine trying to learn chess if no one explained the legal moves. Something without the capability for language isn’t such a big win IMHO.
I think we might have different visions of what this reverse engineering would entail, By my concept, if you don’t understand the function of the program you wrote, you’re not done reverse engineering.
I do think that something capable of learning language would be necessary for a win. but the information content of the language does not count towards the complexity estimate of the thing capable of learning langauge.
