It is understandable, however....
as far as I know, in Participial Construction, the subject in the subordinate clause should agree with the one in the main clause...
What do you think? Well, I'm sure you know in detail about it.

On the contrary, in an absolute participial construction a participle has its own doer, which is different from the subject of the sentence.
e.g. She walked away, tears streaming down her face.
