Detail is not limited to listing positive attributes. The shared respect may depend on the presence of certain features, the absence of others, or a purposeful combination of presence and absence.
Examples:
Presence: considering redness, lustre, and roundness together.
Absence: jointly negating movement and sound in a state.
Combined: a flame-like brilliance exists without the smoke one would normally expect.
These show different ways in which a respect of resemblance is constructed. The need to relate positive and negative conditions can make the comparison less immediately accessible.
