It's pointed out as a shortcoming at the bottom:

Isn't that the exact opposite? That sounds like reasons why "understood" may include false positives ("you understood all words but not a necessary grammar construction or couldn't follow at the given speaking speed"). It mentions "context" but the context in which context is mentioned suggests it's meant as yet another hurdle, not as something that could help.
