   Yea there are different levels of abstraction.  Something notable   
   might be the context in which a statement is made.  Notice your   
   last two sentences and how easily they could be converted from   
   something somewhat true to something more false.  Point to a   
   specific physical screen and say it.  (The meaning could shift to -   
   maybe that screen might not be working but it might be possible if   
   you try another screen over there.)
