Can Koko (and other talking/signing animals like Washoe or Alex the parrot) really understand and communicate?

I can't find any significant data proving that the Ethologist who raised Koko didn't manipulate the facts to prove her point.

I can understand that she's able to talk about food because of basic conditioning (banana sign = you get a banana, etc)
But could she really be able to communicate toughts and emotions?
