Rewrisk,

I want to make very certain we're using the same terms the same way.

If you are using the term 'comprehension' to mean:

"the act or action of grasping with the intellect : understanding" - Source: 
Merriam Webster Online 

...then I couldn't disagree with you more.

Comprehension (as defined above) has nothing whatsoever to do with zen practice 
except to act as an encumbrance.  In fact it is the very act of trying to 
comprehend that must be stopped (or at least halted temporarily) in order to be 
fully aware of Buddha Nature.

This is my experience.

...Bill!
