Isn’t that just what we humans do with our educated guesses?

No. Humans can have actual domain knowledge plus contextual awareness which leads them to actually understand the subject by means of their education, and thus make guesses based on more than linguistic and syntactic plausibility. Educated guesses can be wrong, but are by definition not merely "plausible sounding nonsense."
