It says that its technology reads and comprehends each word on a page.
First let's get this straight - It doesn't comprehend anything. That's wishful thinking and marketing. It looks at verbs or certain keywords, flags them as important, references through synonyms, then proceeds to lump them under one category.
It's a smart way to do things, but it's not comprehension. Comprehension would imply artificial intelligence whereas this system follows a set pattern of rules and doesn't 'think' on its own.
In no ways am I trying to put this effort down - it's a step in the right direction. But you have to be careful how you weigh these words.
The second problem I see here is that they choose Wikipedia as an example. I suppose Wikipedia itself is a good site as an example, but it's far from perfect as I've discussed here:
