Anything that you observe may be seen as an example of something, which therefore illustrates a more general principle. For example, let us say that you see a cat chase a bird. This is typical cat behavior. Lots of cats chase birds. We might correctly infer that cats have predatory instincts. Of course, the more cats you observe, the more confident you may become of your conclusion. You might see a child swallow a penny, but it would be wrong to conclude that the normal food for children consists of pennies. However it would be correct to conclude that children often swallow things, and that what they swallow is not always good for them.
