"Understanding" is just a trap to get wrapped up in. A word with no definition and no test to prove it.
Whether or not the model are "understanding" is ultimately immaterial, as their ability to do things is all that matters.
If they can't do things that require understanding, it's material, bub.
And just because you have no understanding of what "understanding" means, doesn't mean nobody does.

If it's not a functional understating that allows to replicate functionality of understanding, is it the real understanding?
