The original definition is "to understand so thoroughly that the observer becomes a part of the observed—to merge, blend, intermarry, lose identity in group experience. It means almost everything that we mean by religion, philosophy, and science—and it means as little to us (because of our Earthling assumptions) as color means to a blind man."
Your description here is nothing like the original meaning.
To use more flowery language. You merge your thoughts with those who came before allowing for synthesis, extention, or improvement. Nothing in the book suggests grocking is total understanding just the point where there ready to act. So, being able to follow the thought process of the coder(s) who came before instead of just reading the logic is a deeper understanding. Sum=54; Foreach(int x in Dalist) sum += x;
The logic is easy to follow. But WTF is 54. Until I understand why 54 is there I don't grock the code even if I understand what it does. Again I might not agree with the coder but I need to understand what they where thinking before I can change anything.
