Think of it like in a computer game where you customize your character and add traits and such as well as manipulate the size and shape of the character. The computer is still only using what it knows, what its programmed to know, but its using that knowledge and tweaking it to make it seem like it knows so much more.
You may never of seen in the flesh a person with a really pointy nose, ears like an elf, demon horns, a X scar across the eye, 3 warts below the chin, eyes red pupils and black iris, the person with angel wings and legs of a lion, but you can imagine it because you know of these things that your brain is now cramming together to make it seem like a whole new image.
