Explanation / Answer

No result and interpretation are not the same thing. First we interpret a thing and then come to a result. It is just like the steps of scientific method i.e. first we perform experiments (-->interpretation) and then come to some result. Interpreting is finding all the facts we can find from a case like reasons and factors involved. Following examples might help:
