Understanding and Verification
There was an implicit assumption in the expression "Verification of understanding" that there must first be "understanding" and then "verification".
In "Not confident, but high grades." we saw that those who tested were less confident in their understanding than those who did not test, but their actual percentage of correct answers was higher (i.e., their results were better)
Understanding" ahead is only "a feeling of understanding," which often does not lead to results
On the other hand, it was pointed out that "decoupling of understanding and results" leads to "results" without "a sense of understanding".
Solving a real-world problem and getting results may be a validation of the correctness of it.
