AIT restricts attention to the direct phenomenon -- the actual bits coming into the sensors. It assumes the most "unbiased" stance with regard to those bits. Any a priori interpretation of those bits, such as assuming they're from a lossy compression mechanism -- is what phenomenologists call "the natural attitude". The bits aren't "bracketed" so as to decontextualize their interpretation and thereby free the interpretation from any biases. This kind of thinking is necessary to science. Because it is not applied to the soft sciences, we are, instead treated to endless discourse about "statistics" -- which is basically just another word for trying to hide bias that would be disclosed by AIT. That "discourse" is about to erupt into bloody conflict the likes of which we haven't seen since the Thirty Years War unless we start using every weapon in our arsenal of rational thought to defuse this impending quai-religious conflict.
