  The point is that we assume positive effects of more information and ignore negative effects of more information. I wanted to point out that more information is not always better and can lead to degraded decision making. I see it happen often enough. We bombard people with good information and assume it helps, it can, but it doesn't necessarily. Signal to noise, both from information provided and absorptive capacity are important. I'm not saying we shouldn't provide good information, I'm saying we shouldn't assume providing good information is always beneficial (which a lot of people and models do).
