The description of what is thought or felt may indeed never be what is described. We will not know as receivers of those descriptions whether we are understanding what is being described. But this is what we do in communication with each other. We attempt mutual understanding in this way.
If I tell you about the wheel I have made and you go off and make one, and next week we compare our wheels and if they are both wheels then some level of understanding has occurred:)
