problem
- not fully understood is unsolvable
- fully understood is half solved
possibly miss remembered
well stated is not fully understood
even if we solve as problem it does not mean that we fully understand
it may be a viable conceptualization
or at least generative leading to a solution
itself may not even be well stated but on the path to developing improved formulations possibly carving up new concepts on the way
should we say heuristically adequate?
but it may be well stated in the sense that the statement may lead to eventual solution
that in itself is a retrospective validation of the statement
well stated is much less than fully understood
