A comprehension gap is the length of time between a correct assessment and incorrect knowledge or blatantly wrong belief(s).
e.g. A person believes there is nothing wrong when it comes to abortion. Later in life, a person starts to feel partial birth abortion is wrong. Over the years, you become involved with religion. You are told abortion is wrong and you start to believe it. Then you have a full conversion when you feel abortion is the evil murder of innocent children in the womb. The point between 'nothing wrong when it comes to abortion' and the correct assessment 'abortion is evil murder', that is called the comprehension gap.
