Suppose while teaching English, you were not paid by the time you put 
in, but rather by the number of students who learn each word. If you 
teach 10 students and they all learn the word, you get paid for 10 words.

If one student does not learn the word, then you must go back and 
re-teach it until the student understands it. You don't get paid for 
"his" word until that happens.

If 9 of your students learn the word but one does not, would you stop 
introducing new words in class until the one student understands it? Or 
would you re-teach that student on your own time? Or would you just 
postpone it for a while because it affects only one person?

Suppose 6 students don't understand the word. In that case you would 
probably decide to re-teach it during class time because so many 
students are affected. The four remaining students would be idle until 
that is done and may feel you are depriving them of a full education.

Suppose 3 students don't understand it. Where would you draw the line? 
Remember, you get paid by the word.
