One gives examples and intends them to be taken in a particular way. I do not, however, mean by this that he [sic] is supposed to see in those examples that common thing which I-for some reason-was unable to express; but that he is now to employ those examples in a particular way. Here giving examples is not an indirect means of explaining-in default of a better. For any general definition can be misunderstood too. The point is that this is how we play the game. -Ludwig Wittgenstein, Philosophical Investigations
