- dec0dedab0de 7y agoWhen you walk into a grocery store, you assume the fruit isn't plastic. When you walk into a furniture store, you do. Why? Ambient context. That was a really great way to get the point across, Especially because I still sometimes think it's real, even when I know the context.
- ben_w 7y agoThat’s an example, not an explanation. From only that example, I cannot differentiate “ambient context” from “common sense”, which is a phrase that means totally different things to everyone who I’ve seen use it.
