Yes, I defined understanding behaviourally, but merely talking back at someone is not sufficient.
If I make a point and someone comes back talking gibberish about how I must believe in angelic unicorns that travel faster than light then I don't even consider that this person has even the faintest glimmering of comprehension about what I was saying. Or what they are saying, for that matter.
I think that shows that you believe in angelic unicorns that travel faster than light. Or am I being ironic here? Perhaps when I say that you believe this, I don't really think so - and you are able to guess that, from context.
