A QC operator may be able to carry out a test with as much accuracy (or perhaps better accuracy, with enough practice) than the PhD quality chemist who developed it. They could plausibly do so with a high school education and not be able to explain the test in any detail. They do not understand the test in the same way as the chemist.
If 'understand' is a meaningless term to someone who's spent 30 years in AI research, I understand why LLMs are being sold and hyped in the way they are.

For highly compensated employees who save the majority of their money, no.
>plants actually take up very little lead in their stems and leaves, and are safe to eat
They might have, for instance, lead on the level of 1 ppm, which poses no significant harm to your health.
Lead is a naturally occuring element. Clean dirt contains 15 to 40 ppm lead.
You grow plants in dirt. Guess what happens? They take up a little bit of lead. Ideally I would like to eat 0 micrograms of lead, sure, but I'm not worried about tiny unavoidable amounts of lead from my food.
This is what killed a lot of computers in my company's laboratories.
