Reply to comment by _Atheius_ in New research shows why we hear “lemon” and not “melon” in processing incoming sounds: our brains “time-stamp” the order of incoming sounds, allowing us to correctly process the words that we hear by giuliomagnifico

I think it's similar to understanding how your car works. At a base level you know that when you press the accelerator gas goes into the engine and the car moves. But if you understand the more specific order and process of it: it allows you to understand your car better overall and, more importantly, helps you pinpoint problem areas when things go wrong
