You know getting understanding recognizes that one might have considerable knowledge and still not have understanding.
not only deals with the fact, but also with the why and the wherefore of things. It embodies the application or use of that knowledge for the highest good.
Therefore, you without understanding knowledge is of very little value to you. (John 17:3)

achieving a state of comprehension includes the possibility of possessing a lot of data, information, and knowledge and still not getting the whole picture
not only is it comprehensible but I would argue applies to dear old Boris the Cabinet and Covid .....
my view is that the dear old phrases - "foo what dat mean den?" are laboured to death on AB. Why doesnt anyone ever write: "well i havent read any of this crip but by golly that wont stop me blaarting!" - there is a lot of it about !

PP. You are right but you are looking at man, I am looking at it from the Bible's viewpoint. Its the same with all the others on this site, they say they know the Bible, but they do not have understanding.
An understanding person is one able to see into a matter and discern its composition by separating the individual factors or features that compose or act together to form the whole, then to perceive the relationship between them and thus comprehend, or grasp, the significance or meaning of the matter.
Knowledge of God and discernment of his will combined with faith and trust form the foundation of all true understanding on the part of his intelligent creatures. “Knowledge of the Most Holy One is what understanding is,” and this includes understanding “righteousness and judgment and uprightness, the entire course of what is good.” (Pr 9:10; 16:20)
No matter of real importance can be fully understood unless all the factors are viewed from God's standpoint and seen in relation to his standards, qualities, and eternal purpose.

Goodlife, //they say they know the Bible, but they do not have understanding.//
Other people including those belonging to denominations other than the JWs understand it differently - which is not to say they’re wrong and you’re right.
Arrogance in the extreme to claim you know what God’s ‘standpoint’ is. Again, others think likewise - and would disagree with you. You can’t all be right - but you all think you are.

"Nailit, someone's here to see you mate!"
Excellent.
Sorry for the diversion, but if any OP needs to be diverted because it's absurd, this is it, but I've always considered JW to be a cult rather than a 'proper' religion, but I've been told I'm wrong.
So when does a cult become a religion? Is it just a matter of numbers? If the Branch Davidians had managed to amass a similar number of followers as JW (and didn't all die) would they be considered a religion rather than a nutcase cult? These are genuine questions.
