That's not true. Think about it. In reality there's 10^82348733 or some other ridiculously huge number of things you can do. If you get it right, you know how to make it work, and there may be some obvious routes to improve. That's a LOT of information because you can effectively exclude 99% of possibilities.

If you can't make it work, you know that 1 out of 10^82348733 things don't work. Great. You can excluse 1% of possible solutions.

Success has WAY more information than failure.
