Information is relative

What is informative to someone else is not necessarily informative to you. The informativeness of a information source depends on your a priori beliefs about that source, i.e. your priors. Different priors, different information from realization.

This is related to the point Nassim Taleb says, that Black Swans are relative. The Black Swan for the turkey is not necessarily a Black Swan for the butcher.
