"You see the thing about understanding, is that it’s inherently flexible. If I know x, y, and z, and I just know it, well, what am I going to do when somebody puts problem q in front of me. But I understand x, y, and z, and somebody says problem q, then I can say, well, what is that have to do with x, y, and z, oh, I see the connection, I can extract some principles from x, y, z, and you know what, they are relevant to q. Understanding is inherently more general than just knowing stuff. It has stretch, it has reach, it has leverage. That’s why understanding big, important, powerful, central things becomes a central part of educating for the unknown."
