Maybe it just needs a lujvo like {smuju'o} or something.

This is precisely why I take my view regarding {zo'e jimpe fi= zo'e}.=A0

Right, but you do agree = that understanding some thing is not the same
as understanding some facts about the thing, right?

"Understanding a language" can have two meanings, the type of
understanding of utterances in the language that a speaker of the
language has (knowing how to use the language), and the type of
understanding that a linguist has (knowing many facts about the
language and how those facts relate to one another). The second is the
one expressed by "jimpe fi lo bangu". This is tied with the "= ;know
that" vs. "know how to" distinction.

If you understand that nouns are not inflected in Chinese, then "do jimpe da lo jugbau", even if you don't understand Chinese.
