>But then what does it mean to be understood?

The same thing that it means to hear a bad quality 8bit, 20kbps copy of a song. It's still better than NOT hearing it, and it gives you an idea about what it entails, even if you don't hear all the information in it.

Even in everyday language we make the distinction about understanding something fully and having a rough understanding of it.
