It is not true that all information is equal. Some data are more precious than others. Most people can't see it. Most gods can't see it, either. In fact, about the only one who does see it is the wizened little gnome who proposed it, whose demesne is spreadsheets. You won't have seen him working, but you may have experienced the aftereffects. He plucks out the special numbers, the entries that have whatever esoteric qualities he prizes today, and replaces them with numbers he considers banal and uninteresting.
Whether they are right or not is immaterial.
At least to him.

Oh, this is so true -- at least of the spreadsheets that I make. Darn it, how they get so tangled up?
