What is a detail? Here is my definition:

A detail is information about something

What's the difference between a detail and a piece of information? I believe these words have a perfect overlap but they have a slightly different emphasis. The emphasis of a detail is to describe, while the emphasis of information is to provide education. Every detail is a piece of information; every piece of information is a detail.
