Well, I'd put "can't know" squarely in the ineffable.
But yes, I think phenomena are the atomic building blocks of science. The logical positivists at least got that right.

Lacking context, this could seem somewhat opaque.
Would you mind clarifying which definition of "phenomenon" you are intending to convey? (eg Kantian or otherwise)
I am personally not comfortable with using 'information'. I think Bohm's formulation "phenomena" is more appropriate. Note that, for example, the manifestation of wave/particle duality is an actual physical phenomena. The 'information' bit is our observation of this phenomena.
And in case the question is still on the table as to are these distinctions merely a matter of philosophical taste or aesthetics?, from same source cited:
Alain Aspect
Aspect at this point had conducted a series of EPR experiments that proved that the Einstein line of reasoning was in contradiction with the obtained experimental results.
