Isn't that just evidence that they never really got it in the first place? It didn't look like they 'clicked' before, did it?

That's very possible, and we'd have to look at it in a case by case basis to see if they got it but somehow kept that new knowledge/belief compartmentalized, or just pretended to get it when they actually didn't.

But depending how you define 'clicking', it probably includes 'updating', so we might be describing something similar using different terminology.
