I would describe myself full stack under that definition. Most "full stack" people I know that sit in my Uni courses have mostly learned Java EE + Oracle DB or Javascript + /dev/null^w^w MongoDB. Most of them would probably not be able to construct a relational database or libc from scratch.
Granted, such knowledge isn't immediately useful since it's something I or anyone is likely to do but it grants insight into systems. I know roughly how a query optimizer does and what it can, and more importantly, can't do.
When you know a system you can optimize for it. When you don't know a system you can only follow someone else's advice on how to optimize for it.
