You should know that. The word applies to far more than just what goes on
within any single "channel". But you choose to ignore every bit of it
save what Shannon had to say.
I find that very revealing- An Information Theory fixation!

I just realized---You're a Shannonist!!!!

Everyone who uses a telephone, a CD player, any form of digital
communications on the ham bands, a digital computer, and or many
many other things... is indeed a Shannonist. The theory of
communications that he set forth *is* that all pervasive.
