The term "grokking" has been used for something like "deep understanding" for many decades now, after it's introduction in an early 1960's novel. Perhaps not falling into completely general use, but popular within a large swath of technical communities, certainly.
I'm not sure it's particularly well targeted here, but they are going for something deeper than "learning" which already has a standard usage in the field.

- ryanklee 3y agoHow would using common words suggested by ggp avoid this issue? It's a usual occurrence for terms of art to be repurposed words having somewhat related usages elsewhere. It all sounds like an empty complaint.
