That's a great way of saying it concisely. And to continue that generalization - one of the consequences of information theory is that there exist trivially incompressible strings. This plays nicely with the recent (2018) Lei-Luo-Yau-Gu result that there exist manifolds which cannot be learned.
As I harp on every chance I can get, I have a pet hypothesis that there's a very deep corollary here waiting to be proven rigorously. Namely, that we can show there exist adversarial inputs that exploit neural networks because they're incompressible. Furthermore, that these inputs are information theoretically guaranteed to exploit the neural network (even if there are practical complexity theoretic workarounds).

I get the image of a technique that, when applied to humans, allows you to see through political speeches and reveals the eldritch horrors scurrying around us continually.
