Examples have the same problems of equivocalness. It depends on the readers set values that how much he is able to have a clear perception of what you want to show. Its said that the world is full of evidences, no proofs.

Use it in case of total surety.

You might have observed that it takes a lot of words to explain an example. SO in that way examples have their problem. It gives another view. Its like a picture.
