I shall demonstrate with this post:
Source 1: I really love apples.
Source 2: I ate an apple last night.
Source 3: Apples are awesome.
Source 4: One time, I get really vexed - I threw an apple at some guys head!
Source 5: Apples come in red and green.
Person A reads the above sources (in the order presented) and comes to the conclusion that clearly aamirsaab loves his apples, but one time he had to throw one at someone.
Person B reads only sources 4 and then source 3. He comes to the conclusion that aamirsaab only loves apples because he can throw them at people.
In both cases the same information has been read but
human error has caused a misinterpretation of the data allowing for two seperate interpretations (mainly because person B didn't read all of the sources!).
