I think that is a fair if lengthy explanation; Solomon makes the same point in Ecclesiastes 8:17. So, since we agree that even the Godliest among us are operating with an incomplete (and possibly even flawed) understanding of the world around them, it is my desire and great joy to offer new insights, when I can, to expand the scope of someone's knowledge, which in turn expands their understanding. Do you understand now what I meant by "expand understanding"?
