Basically, Claude Shannon was able to create his information theory because he could use things like calculus, probability, stochastic processes and graph theory to aid his thought process. He needed those tools to be able to think things that would have been unthinkable without them.

Of course I read it. Just like I watched all of his videos. There is no substance. Of course he was able to create information theory because of calculus, probability, stochastic processes, and graph theory. Yet for none of those did he need Brett Victor's cute little animations. I am merely stating that Brett is adding nothing to the equation here.
