Choose more vague description rather than the most precise

Reference no: EM13199970

Compare the amount of information conveyed to a collaborator when you inform her that an object is located:
At a point (1,3)
On a line y=x+1
Below this line, so that its coordinates satisfy y < x+1

When are you being the most specific, and when are you being the most vague? What happens as you increase the number of linear inequalities (conditions)?

Why would you ever need to choose the more vague description rather than the most precise? Provide at least two examples when you would actually be forced to use a more vague description of the location of an object.
