  1. Perhaps an illustrative example re "misinformation": there is a technique in data acquisition that uses NOISE injection to aid in assisting noise rejection! "Misinformation" is, essentially, NOISE; and there is a natural limit to any ability to reject, or filter, NOISE--a limit which may be extended by the intelligent utilization of NOISE. The lesson of digital technology is you can get rid of all the noise if you CHANGE THE DATA, translate it into a different form. Destroying the old form of the data destroys information we are presumed to not care about, while preserving the information we DO care about. In digital technology it's a useful lie to eliminate "useless" data; in the real, analog, world, you don't know ahead of time what information is useless! So, to filter it would be potentially dangerous. Eh...just thinking...
