Ooh! I thought of a new analogy, along the lines of Stephanos's.
It is like an artist paints a picture of your friend, and all of the basic features are right; the face shape, the eye color, the shape of the mouth...
But they forgot the twinkle in the eyes, the number of freckles, all of the tiny little things that you notice because you know them well, but people who don't know the friend well wouldn't notice.
