Understand

I don't understand, says people..

Now, when it comes to concepts, that can be understood.

But strangely, that is sometimes said for examples too. But you can't really "understand" an example. An example is meant to be an illustration for something. At least, that is what I understand and what I would mean by an illustration. If it is meant to be a literal illustration, then what you can "not understand" is its application or relevance to the concept at hand. Either that, or the description of the example is not clear enough so that you couldn't get an idea of the picture. But you won't be able to "not get" the example itself, that is just a story, which cannot be judged to be true or false. It is (exists). Of course, the concepts can be judged to be true or false, but not the story itself.

Of course, if it is a metaphorical example, then there can be an additional problem of whether it is a good metaphor.. But that is again, something different from understanding the example.
