It has nothing to do with comprehensibility.
Most people value having a tidy sum in a bank account. But (usually) they don't value it for itself, they value it because it allows them to get other stuff which they like. Money in a bank is NOT a terminal value.
Most people value not being in pain. They (usually) don't value it because not being in pain allows them something, they value it for itself, because lack of pain IS a terminal value.
