"Knowing the functioning of something" is nothing like the same as understanding why it does what it does. I work on a large operating system, which was designed by humans; it takes many days to find the root cause of bugs. I have the best access it's possible to get to that operating system, and it still takes a large amount of time to even detect that there has been a bug, let alone determine why it happened and fix it. That amount of time to detect a bug could be lethal in the case that the bug arose in a superintelligent being.
