I agree, but given that it is a bit idiomatic and confusing, it might be best
to reword the sentence.  I would say s/take on board/tackle/, but I'm not
sure 'tackle' is any less confusing.  I do find the current wording a bit
awkard, but 'take on board' is a bit 'stronger' than simply 'understand' as
it implies that the task requires some work (e.g. taking on a new task at a
job).  Maybe 'embrace' would work.

Also, the comma after 'explore' is bogus.
