When we make a neural net to distinguish cats from dogs we don't effectively have to write a program that (say) explicitly finds whiskers; instead we just show lots of examples of what's a cat and what's a dog, and then have the network "machine learn" from these how to distinguish them. And the point is that the trained network "generalizes" from the particular examples it's shown.

So how does neural net training actually work? Essentially what we're always trying to do is to find weights that make the neural net successfully reproduce the examples we've given. And then we're relying on the neural net to "interpolate" (or "generalize") "between" these examples in a "reasonable" way.
