> How can you even answer any of these questions except with fluff and bullshit if you want to be hired? Google is supposed to be a data-driven company, but it's impossible to extract any information out of bullshit, bullshit by definition is orthogonal to observable reality, it is neither truth, nor falsehood, it's pure empty words.

Noise might not contain information but the presence or absence of noise does.

I always think of it as - What a sentence denotes is rarely reliable information; but the fact that the sentence was stated means something, with the right context, including a model of the speaker/writer.

Someone says "X" and it doesn't tell you a thing about whether "X" is the case, but it always tells you they wanted to tell you "X" for some reason.
