Oh, I understand very well. For example, I understood that it was silly to claim your personal prediction was the Darwinian explanation of altruism. I also understand that you compounded this silliness by following up with a link which contradicted your prediction:

Here is what you predicted:

I predict that when you start dividing wasp species into altruistic varietys as less altruistic ones you will find that the altruistic ones carry more genes in common than the other varieties.

But in your last post, you linked to an article that says the opposite:

Recent theoretical work has, however, suggested that competition between relatives can counteract kin selection for altruism. .... the level of fighting between males shows no correlation with the estimated relatedness of interacting males, ..

I also understand that you don't realize you're a buffoon pontificating beyond your understanding. You think that because you are posting on behalf of evolution you are a scientist, a clear eyed intelligent rationalist battling ignorant flat-earthers. You think you know how the eyes of land animals and octupuses originated and much much more based on a reading of simple-minded evolutionary just-so stories.

In short, I think you are an ideal spokesperson for evolution.
