[blml] seven arguments for dws

David has totally misunderstood this argument. Under MS, there is this kind
of UI in both directions

Herman, will you please try to understand this argument: there is a
difference - and it is a significant difference - between information and
data? If you don't understand the terminology, we can go over it again. But
you seem to think that anything a person hears, whether it was intended for
his ears or not, is necessarily "information" to that person or an
"indication" to that person. It is not.

Unless you can give some sign that you have at least made some effort to
comprehend the difference, I don't see how I can progress this. I don't want
to lose patience with you altogether, as others here have done. But you
really must try to be in some way responsive.

Once again, the transmission of data does not constitute the passing of
information. Information is passed only when data influences the actions of
the recipient. Do you understand what I have just said? Do you deny it?

It's a simple question, Herman. It's got nothing to do with the Laws of
bridge. Just answer it, please.
