用法パターン：
[someone]'s digestion of [information]
よくある間違い：
Learners may not realize this is a formal, figurative use and might try to use it in very casual speech where "time to think" or "time to process" would sound more natural. They may also confuse it with the physical sense and say unclear things like *"My digestion of the book is bad"* instead of "I didn't really understand the book."
