I understand that, but

Used in exasperation during an argument, with a notable impatience intended to slightly patronize the other party while furthering the speaker's other reasons.

Look, I didn't mean to shoot Marvin in the face.

I understand that, but that doesn't change the fact he's dead.

I understand that.

Phrase used by persons who aren't really listening to you but wish to appear to be doing so. Usually used when on the telephone so neither of you is making eye contact.

You are telling a story and your friend, who hasn't responded the entire time, suddenly chimes in with "I understand that."
