Greetings Art:

"That is your definition of what is information."

Would you like to propose yours? Or describe someone else's?

"It is however a moot point since it is not heredible in any case."

Hardly moot. The question is whether mutation can produce new information,
not whether that information is heritable. The creation of new functions
to situations never before encountered by mutation demonstrates that
mutation can produce new information.
