I'm confused. That seems to be a bunch of boilerplate surrounding a Salon
article from 2015:

https://www.salon.com/2015/09/26/how_to_explain_the_kgbs_amazing_success_identifying_cia_agents_in_the_field/

It also contains references to supplementary material, like whether
Intelligent Design can be linked to information theory:

https://mindmatters.ai/2018/10/does-information-theory-support-design-in-nature/

I am not sure this issue is on topic for this list.

You could link it, perhaps.
