Interesting that Dembski should use lagnuage for an example. Some
Christians claim to receive communications from an intelligent designer
but in the ID's home language. Other Christians claim to have the ability
to translate the ID's home language into English. The problem is when the
ID's communication is subjected to computer analysis no evidence of
design is found. Thus the translator is either obtaining information from
no information or the origional communication is not part of the process.
