As you previously illustrated, what's data to some can be information to
another. My contention is that it's virtually impossible to draw a rigid
line between the two in many/most situations, however (theoretically)
creative one may get defining these terms. So my question is (after the
proverbial falling tree in a forest) what do we call what's data to some and
information to another?
