Please help me to understand that starts with "The person we are talking to........". It is located on the second part of given sentences. Presence of """ is also ambiguous to me. The first has included ,if you think it was necessary to understand the second part.
Knowledge-poor should be hyphenated. It is a
compound adjective, describing the noun
approach. It means that there was not a great
amount (a poor amount) of knowledge used in this
approach.
A note about using the idiom "for
once" - we use this phrase when exasperated.
The person we are talking to has repeatedly not
done the thing we want done, so we ask, "Can
you do this for once?" An example is a
parent with a child that never gets his chores
done. "Please do as I say for once!"

Ahmed it means in effect, "To reassure me that you hear and understand what I'm saying, please comply if only in this one instance"

I don't. The second seems a footnote not necessarily connected with the first

I'm not sure what your question is. This paragraph explains the use of the idiom "for once." It gives an example of how it is used. The example is in quotes. Another example would be "For once, would you close the door to the garage?"
@PUNKEY,
I didn't see a question in there, either.
