I hear you well and clear: you seem to think information exists separate from someone's ability to decode it unambiguously. That is not how information theory works as usually understood. Rather, it works on the assumption that it's the receiver's ability to decode information which is the definition of information in the first place. You know, the kind of information you get by reading a clear copy of an encyclopedia or an errorless datagram from the network. Not the kind where the other person just declares they have a lot of information, and then all you get is a single digit of zero.
