"Is excrement information or knowledge?"
Such things are dependent on context. Excrement contains extensive information
that can lead to knowledge, such as the diet of a given patient or species,
disease bearing bacteria, even the probable time or location of a crime!
So, though some 'information' is pretty shitty stuff that most of us don't
need or want, taken literally it can contain data for those who do need or
want it!
That said, this dialogue is getting smellier than I care to spend my time on.
How about we either bring it back on track or give it a rest?
