Let's say I have a theory that can explain the complete works of Shakespeare so well, that an algorithm based on it (written in C) can generate the complete works. Now, it turns out that my "theory" is just a printf with a loong string... containing the complete works of Shakespeare. You can measure how "simple" this theory is, by the information content. What if there was another theory (algorithm) that could also generate the works exactly, but was shorter - would you say it's a better theory?
