Well, when you work in physics or any other physical science you must account for all the information. When you work in mathematics, aside from the problem of limits, you must account for all information. If you use propertarian argument, you can, in matters of human behavior, account for all information.
The more I work on the subject the more I understand that our history as moral creatures gave us tragic cognitive biases that take years of work to overcome.
If you are thinking sentimentally, reasonably, morally, rationally, or even scientifically, then you are probably not accounting for all the information: incentives.
Because information affects incentives in the human mind, the way information affects other information in the physical world.
This subject is worthy of a lot of research.
We are used to making decisions and considering sufficiency for decisions we account only for what we perceive as sufficient information.
Yet, we can test over and over again in in cognitive psychology, that humans CANNOT IGNORE information they are exposed to. They are forever changed by it just as physical objects are forever changed by the information (energy) that they are exposed to.
Information is the model that unifies the physical, cognitive, and social sciences. And accounting for information both positive (cooperative) and negative (parasitic) is the way we unify the sciences.
