I agree. It's all just information. I'm not saying we can live without it, that would (at least in my mind be like saying that we can live without information). I'm just saying – as in the title – that the *distinction* between the two is artificial. Normal humans don't need or want or understand such a distinction. Computational systems are very often built on that distinction, though. I think that's a mistake.

Thanks a lot for taking the trouble to comment. I hope the above makes it a little clearer.
