You indicate that the comprehension under discussion is "nothing
critical".
In that case, why do you seek it out at all?

Elsewhere in this thread, you implied[1] that the additional
comprehension
translates to additional safety. I believe that!

But doesn't this imply that the less comprehending pilots are less
safe?
And when does that become "not safe enough"?

No. The less comprehending pilots have met minimum standards are have
been deemed safe enough to be certificated.
All we're discussing here is a HIGHER degree of comprehension than that
required by those minimum standards.
It's not black and white.
