Mathematics can tell you how much information something has, but it can't tell
you how important that information is because that is a function of individual
personal taste and neither mathematics nor science has anything to say about
that.
Agreed, and what I was pointing out in a response I just sent out. We can
analyze the information potential contained within some bit stream in a
mathematical sense, but without any knowledge of the context it is impossible
to quantify the “value” contained in the stream.
