Take the drawing of an old typewriter, for example. One has a universal
image of what an old typewriter looks like in one's head, so there is an image
of it, but it will be bland and inaccurate. There are details of the different
kinds of carriage returns, or different kinds of moulding of the black surface
of the typewriter around the space bar, which are always more interesting than I
could imagine.
