No, what I mean is that the speaker understands perfectly. From his perspective, there are *no* gaps. In his attempt to express what he has in his mind, the expression comes out with gaps. The speaker notices the glaring gaps because they're obvious. The subtle gaps get overlooked because they're, ..., well, ..., subtle. But the speaker understands perfectly what he *intends* to say, no gaps.
