- I read this article about the difference that makes a difference phrase, which Bateson didn't say the way people think he did - he was referring more to like... what's the smallest unit of information?
- intuitively I think that this guy's heady critique misses the core reason why people DO quote this, which is that it's an intuitive way to contrast information with "noise"
- same guy also has an article on Jane Austen's concept of information
