Well you can say it doesn't understand, but then you don't have a very useful definition of the word.

You can say this is not 'real' understanding but you like many others will be unable to clearly distinguish this 'fake' understanding from 'real' understanding in a verifiable fashion, so you are just playing a game of meaningless semantics.

You really should think about what kind of difference is supposedly so important yet will not manifest itself in any testable way - an invented one.
