If one source says that the domain search list is "a.com b.com c.com" and another source says it is "c.com a.com b.com", how can you merge the search lists? Or if one source says that the default route is via IP address 1, and the other source says that the default route is via IP address 2, which IP address are you supposed to use as your default route? Sure, you can set up two default routes - but when a packet turns up for which you have no more specific route, which IP address will you send it to? Something has to choose, using some criterion or other. Some things cannot be merged - that's what "conflict" means.
