I believe that the study referred to in this CNN piece is pure noise. (Don’t bother watching it. Bottom line: 1 in 5 teens admits to “sexting.”) But that doesn’t mean that it carries no information. The mere fact that this claim would be repeated, at the expense of the marginal piece of news, turns pure noise into information.
