[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 3147070, member: 27832"]Hm. My first reaction is "I don't like it". I've got some preconceptions, though, because I got immersed in some of this during the early part of my doctoral work. A few of my objections: The distinction between "data" and "information" here is really blurry. To me, "information" is just "data that's surprising", that is, not random and not trivially predictable. The distinction between "information" and "knowledge" is worse. It also completely ignores the issue of [I]counter[/I]-facts -- "stuff you know that ain't so". And, finally, nearly every item listed under "wisdom" could equally well be listed under "folly".[/QUOTE]
