Searle's Chinese Room is exactly why I started thinking of understanding this way. It convinced me that a one-size-fits-all notion of understanding isn't useful. But it also made me think that understanding "with respect to system X" is useful.

If you can challenge an answer and get justification expressed in the form of X, then it understands with respect to X. A step-by-step text explanation is one form of X.

This is all to sidestep questions of whether you accept X as "real" understanding or not. :D
