There is a major difference between knowing and understanding. For instance, I know cars exists though I do not understand how build one (haha!). I interpreted this piece to mean that sometimes the obvious isn't so blatant and that elaboration is key to understanding true meaning. Face value isn't so surface level when expressions change. There's no harm in delving a little deeper. Very precise message. Great read.
