On ne sait pas trop ce que "comprendre" signifie. Le travail de recherche est confronté à deux problèmes. (1) On ne sait pas ce que l'on doit chercher. (2) Malgré (1), on trouve.

A ce jour, de ce que je comprends. On ne sait pas ce que veut dire "comprendre". Problème 1: On ne sait pas vraiment ce que l'on cherche. Problème 2 (plus préoccupant): On trouve des trucs.

Sorry to bother you but… nobody, here, on this Continent, feels concerned about that. Yesterday, I wore my RedSox hat and, it seems that this action had zero influence on the result.

Il y a des papiers, ils sont depuis tellement longtemps chez les ref que j'ai peur de ne même plus me souvenir dans quel dossier je les ai mis.
