What's confusing about this lesson?

Many formats and protocols use content addressing already. Tools like Git and protocols like Ethereum and Bitcoin are among them, but they differ in how to interpret the data and in what cryptographic function they use for hashing. CID allows us to create a universal identifier for any of these systems.

What additional context could we provide to help you succeed?
Not sure what interpreting data means. e.g., distinguish if the string red was received to be displayed as the color red in an image or the actual word 'red'? An example or link to an explanation could be helpful.
