Mpfffff..... Good KEERist...

If irony killed! - Read on!

Information Theory speaks to the understandability and clarity of the
message over noise.

Wrong. Definately not about understandability. That's called articulation.
Information theory is far, far general than that.

No leap of faith required there.

Peter, it would take a leap of (misplaced) faith to accept your ideas about
Information Theory!

It says nothing at all about the validity and/or quality and/or
importance of the message conveyed.

Wrong again. Information Theory includes the concept of the entropy of the
signal which is exactly about validity and quality.

I believe my difficulties are with
the quality of the message at hand, not its clarity. You are the one
leaping in this case, but to conclusions, not faith.

Thanks for proving my point Peter - your understanding of Information Theory
is such that it would take a leap of faith to rely on it. And BTW, I'm not
being mean or evasive, you just plain blew it.
