Frequently ask, "Therefore what?". This will lead you to meanings of every argument or situation.

I remember Dr.Justice A.S.Anand, former chief justice of India. During his conduct of cases in court, he frequently used to ask, "Therefore?...Therefore what?".

This question used to force counsel to come to meaning of his arguments.

You can try this. Whenever you hear an argument, ask, "Therefore.... Therefore what?"

Perhaps you will instantly see meaning of what is being argued.
