If the shared respect is simply brightness, the connection between a lamp and a star may be immediate. Add colour, form, movement, setting, the quality of reflection, and the absence of some feature, and the audience must integrate more conditions.
Multiplicity of detail can concern many attributes of one object or attributes of several objects arranged in an integrated scene. The relevant likeness emerges only after the conditions have been related to one another.
Detail helps describe the intended respect precisely, but it may also make that respect harder to grasp immediately. The apparent tension disappears when we distinguish precise explanation from quick mental accessibility.
