"Unless you think they intentionally say things that are false. Do you think that?" People sometimes lie, but that is not what I think we are talking about. If a person says the waters in the pools of the Hopi Indian reservation have a turquois color and they know what color turquois represents in their mind then they do understand what they have said. If you have them paint, draw or what ever a representation of what they believe to be turquois and use it for a test against the actual color of the water in question, you may prove them wrong on a couple of facts. What they were thinking of as turquois does not qualify according to some standard that the .... Crayola corporation has set. Or, you might take my sample which does qualify as turquois and prove that the actual waters in these pools is teal and not turqouis. (note: I don't know what the actual color of the pools are.) The person who made the statement understood what they were saying. They also had their facts wrong. They understood their statement unless they actually did not have a clue as to what was coming out of their mouth as they spoke. Do you think that?
