When we study a topic, we get a grasp of the thing we are trying to learn, and then later on one may realise that they didn't /actually/ learn it. The context of this differs for every person, for some it may be in the field of medicine, others in the field of software development; we may find ourselves with a solution without knowing the /why/.
