Another historical note: Grok originates from Robert Heinlein's 60s Sci-Fi novel 'Stranger in a Strange Land'. Because the overlap between sci-fi nerds and programmers is significant, it got adopted into programmer slang.If so I do apologize for that section of the rant then, I've never head of Grok in that context lol.
The true meaning of the word, and the fact it doesn't quite translate into human languages, is a central point of the novel. The main character, who's human but has been raised by aliens, uses it a lot and struggles to explain it to humanity.
Understand is definitely a major facet of grok but there's also elements of the hippy 'dig', and some element of 'not only understand this one thing but have the world view to understand its wider ramifications'.
