Imagine you're a teacher and your students are working on a group project. One student is a math whiz, another excels at writing, and a third is a history buff. If you grade each section based on the individual's absolute strengths, the math whiz would dominate the score, even if the writing and history were excellent. This is similar to what can happen in machine learning with features (data points) on vastly different scales.
