Are Ophelia and her words disregarded when the Gentleman who describes Ophelia to Gertrude and Horatio says she 'speaks things in doubt That carry but half sense Her speech is nothing.'?

But continue with the quotation please.
- "Yet the unshaped use of it doth move
The hearers to collection; they aim at it,
And botch the words up fit to their own thoughts;
Which, as her winks and nods and gestures yield them,
Indeed would make one think there might be thought,
Though nothing sure, yet much unhappily."
The hearers of Ophelia's speech do not disregard it. They "aim at it", try to understand it. Of course, their interpretations come largely from their own thoughts, but they are trying to understand. The Gentleman is of the view that Ophelia is not really expressing thought even though she appears to be doing so. However, he, Horatio and the Queen are all concerned that the imaginative interpretations given to Ophelia's speech may give rise to unjust suspicions.
