I would say it is not because it does not understanding the
relation between objects; it only understands that sentences
starting with "why" should be answered with everything after
the string "because". Also, in your program, if there are
two instances of "because" in the source, your program will
only choose the first one.
This line is arbitrary. These programs aren't "understanding" anything, they are just able to generate different facts. Your "AI" is very input-dependent too, which was his point.
I am still bothered by the title, as your program doesn't "comprehend" the text -- only you do that. Your program restructures the text and answers to a very limited querying mechanism; there's no comprehension, only information retrieval. They're not the same. Knowledge Graph and Freebase are comparable (/ much larger) efforts.
