Oh? So you're saying Chaitin-Kolmogrov information and other ways of studying entropy are "wrong"? I think that's a bit unreasonable, don't you? There are different definitions that are useful at different times. Fundamentally, mathematics provides us with models, which are sometimes applicable to a particular practical problem, and sometimes are not applicable. It is dangerous to forget that. When you do, you get things like "proofs of security" based on inapplicable models, and worse.
