It's probably not of much importance to "the man on the street" who is starving and looking for a safe place to slumber for the night. I personally sense that comprehension and understanding in general both are very important, however, importance itself is subjective, and one must devote their attentional resources first toward survival. Since I have a warm home, and a refrigerator full of food, I have the luxury to pursue a greater understanding of the philosophy of a concepts origin and manifestation. For others, though, luxury is surviving till morning.
