Hi Glenn:
Information only increases if there is something different being said.
That is not established yet in either of the cases you mention. A stack of
newspapers in a newsstand has no more information than any of the
newspapers in the stack. I know that you know this and am puzzled by your
seeming delight over this non-event.
