For instance, while the two men are fighting on the bus we never really find out what began the altercation which very possibly was just a simple misunderstanding, but because they aren't able to communicate fully it results in violence.

There is a lot of stimuli out there, in the world. Our minds, however, are quite limited in their ability to parse every single input present in our environment.
