I agree, but it is a type of failure of comprehension (Google Search doesn't understand the word "poop" either, it's just aware that it crops up in a lot of contexts and can rote-recall multiple definitions for it). Same with the human giving a date for Nixon landing on the moon because they understand moon landings but have no comprehension of who Nixon was (much like Google, which additionally has the unhelpful correlation between mentions of Nixon and mentions of moon landings to factor in)

But in human's case, the lack of understanding of word Nixon is because they didn't know what that means in the first place and they don't have data to know or cross check what that word means. On the other hand, Google Search does have an access to the data (just strings in this case from an article) which it has to verify based on the user's query and then display it as the knowledge card and yet it couldn't because... (I don't know why exactly).
It is one thing to not understand a word in the first place and another if you cannot piece it together i.e. assuming you know the language.
