Ok, let me get more specific here. Here we have two images that are similar:

and

Both are are the same thing: the woman standing in front of the cat. One is in focus, one is blurry. Why keep the blurry one? Don't they evoke the exact same memory and communicate exactly the same idea?
I'm realizing this issue is almost philosophical in nature, because it relates to how people think of memories. Fascinating!
