A series of pictures of two people saying different things
Left: People who think "A has changed to B
RIGHT: People who think "A has changed to a new A".
The person on the right calls the new A "A" while recognizing the change that 'the "current A" has changed to a "new A"'. This expands the scope of the concept of A.
