In an example of conceptualization differences, Jimmy Olsen (the testifier) tells Lois Lane (the hearer) that Clark Kent's favorite ice cream flavor is chocolate, without knowing that Clark Kent is Superman. Lois Lane, who knows that Clark Kent is Superman, assimilates this information into a single 'Clark/Superman' file, thereby gaining knowledge about Superman's favorite ice cream flavor that Jimmy Olsen did not intend to convey.
