First, theQuestIsNotOver has a pretty long track record of picking up on one idea and applying it a little too generally. For the moment, it seems that idea is pattern theory, which has nothing to do with the type of information being discussed here.
Second, no, changing the message does not change the information. For one thing, the word information, in this context, doesn't even imply the existence of a message to change. Also, even if you can pick out a message, its interpretation is completely beside the point. Here, you, like many other people, are confusing information and meaning. Thy aren't the same. They're barely even related. You really cannot use the intuitive definition of information here. It just doesn't work.
