This is not the contrary. We realize better how much we do not understand, but we do understand more and more. More things are moving from 'unknown unknowns' to 'known unknowns', this is a progress in understanding, not the other way around.

When our understanding takes one step forward and 2 steps back, there is a net loss of comprehensive understanding

Depends if you care about actual comprehension or perceived comprehension. I care about the former.

When Copernicus mathematically determined that the sun was at the center of the universe rather than the earth, was that "actual comprehension", or "perceived comprehension"?
