I suspect that they’d be much more likely to notice if the sentence doesn’t make grammatical sense. In the grammatical but nonsensical versions they might be listening and even then just lack the ability to understand fully if they’ve been given a good explanation. In some cases “why” might even be shorthand for not understanding the previous explanation.
