Mar 25, 2014 at 9:26 comment added dtldarek @paulgarrett Was it enough if someone said "suppose that those are real objects, not their depictions"? It reminds me of René Magritte and his "This is not a pipe".
Mar 25, 2014 at 0:30 comment added paul garrett I remember thinking, as a child, that the pictures in such "tests" were themselves abstractions, since they were cartoonish depictions of the things... and felt that I could not reliably duplicate the state-of-mind of the grown-up exam-makers. E.g., were they oblivious to cartoonishness? To "depictions" rather than the things themselves? To cartoons versus photos? Seemed too complicated to decrypt, unlike the "puzzle" of many grown-ups' "tests/challenges" to kids.
