Yes, this is key --- If you are going to use a tool, you have to understand the mechanism of the tool so that you can understand its valid ranges and its limitations.
This is good advice - always understand (at least) the next level of abstraction down.
(This applies to everything, not just AI --- it is frustrating being the person having to point out that you need to know how an electrode works to do good electrophysiology and you can't "just trust" spike sorting.)
