You know black hole because you fluently understand the knowledge of the relation of physical&chemical properties about black hole. It doesn't mean you have seen black hole.
"Seeing things as they are" is the same. You know their paṭiccasamuppāda (causes) in every time before you know them (effects) directly.
You think some one mad because of their properties, so you never think the dead body is mad. The same way, the practitioner think clinging-aggregates are "impermanent, suffering, anattā" because they aggregates depending on clinging-paṭiccasamuppāda. So, without paṭiccasamuppāda 12, the practitioner can not see impermanent-characteristic, suffering-characteristic, anattā-characteristic" of "impermanent-aggregates, suffering-aggregates, anattā-aggregates".
This is the reason why the practitioner can meditate sammasana-ñāṇa(realizing everything have 3 characteristics) after paccayapariggahañāṇa (realizing paṭiccasamuppāda/paṭṭhāna).
So, to practice "Seeing things as they are", you have to practice to see everything in paṭiccasamuppāda style. But before that step, you have to make sure that you having good enough adhi-sīla & adhi-samādhi (sīlavisuddhi&cittavisuddhi).

- The knowledge that has been established by the overcoming of doubt about the three periods of time by discerning the conditions (paccayapariggaha[ñāṇa]) of mentality-materiality according to the various methods should be understood as “purification by overcoming doubt (kaṅkhāvitaraṇavisuddhi).” Other terms for it are “knowledge of the relations of states (dhammaṭṭhiti)” and “correct knowledge (yathābhūtañāṇa)” and “right vision (sammādassana).”
- For this is said: “Understanding of discernment of conditions thus, ‘Ignorance is a condition, formations are conditionally arisen, and both these states are conditionally arisen,’ is knowledge of the causal relationship of states” (Paþis I 50). And:
“When he brings to mind as impermanent, he correctly knows and sees the sign. Hence ‘right seeing’ is said. Thus, by inference from that, all formations are clearly seen as impermanent. Herein doubt is abandoned. When he brings to mind as painful, he correctly knows and sees occurrence. Hence ... When he brings to mind as not-self, he correctly knows and sees the sign and occurrence. Hence ‘right seeing’ is said. Thus, by inference from that, all states are clearly seen as not-self. Herein doubt is abandoned.
