They have trouble with concepts, period.

Most people just think about what is in front of them.   If the Time Magazine
cover is "Animals: Do They Have Feelings?", then people decide to become
vegetarians.

But, if the Time Magazine cover were to be (and you would never see this
nowadays) " The New Competition Among Grocers: Restaurant Quality Meats ", then
people would only think about whether they want to pay $8.99/lb. for those
"Restaurant Choice" New York Steaks...
