When you walk into a grocery store, you assume the fruit isn't plastic. When you walk into a furniture store, you do.

Why? Ambient context.

That was a really great way to get the point across, Especially because I still sometimes think it's real, even when I know the context.

That’s an example, not an explanation. From only that example, I cannot differentiate “ambient context” from “common sense”, which is a phrase that means totally different things to everyone who I’ve seen use it.
