When you say “ability to explain”, I hear “communicate a model that says what will happen (under some set of future conditions/actions)”.
There is no such thing as “why” in the actual sequence of states of matter in the universe. It just is. Any causality is in the models we use to predict future states. Which is really useful but not “truth”.
Not at all. It means the ability to explain, not just say what will happen.

You’re hearing wrong.
