Abstract

Notions like `entropy' and `(expected) value of observations' are widely used in science to determine which experiment to conduct to make a better informed choice between a set of scientific theories that are all consistent with the data. But these notions seem to be almost equally important for our use of language in daily life as they are for scientific inquiries.
