That's a conclusion you have drawn. I've been reading the list for quite
some time, and I don't see any reason for that conclusion. Please provide
support for your assertion.

Aside: I suspect that real story is that IAs treat data with a process that
transforms it into information. Which is like saying IAs treat eggs, flour,
and milk like cake ... but only after careful mixing and baking... they
don't present eggs, flour, milk on a tray and offer to cut you a slice.
