Understanding this quote
The statement contrasts understanding a human creation with understanding the person who made it. A work can be examined and outlined, but a human being is more complex and difficult to fully understand. “After all” gives the comparison a matter-of-fact emphasis: even a detailed account of a work remains simpler than mapping a person.
