does it become information only when we have some understanding of it?
That's exactly what I was hinting at: information should be defined as such by the recipient, rather than the sender, as is currently the case. More strictly, to me, true information answers some question of mine. Everything else is .. fiber.

Alimentary fibre passes straight through the digestive system and comes out as excrement.
And cleans you out in the process. It's a *good thing.

Soluble fiber hangs out in your system. It's the insoluble that goes straight through.
Thankyou thankyou. Please, no applause.

Meanwhile (ahem), when do we use one and not the other? Do they go with their respective Latin and Greek prefixes (if that's the right word in this case)?
