I suppose I meant it as to say thoroughly understand a piece of code, why it exists, the context it operates in, and the implications of modifying it. I’ve learned the hard way how making a decision about the need for code or the way it’s implemented can lead to unintended consequences, some of which may be difficult to detect. So I’m using grok to describe a completeness of understanding, which I believe aligns with its dictionary definition.
