abstract = {{Prominent views about representation share a premise: that mathematical communication theory is blind to representational content. Here I challenge that premise by rejecting two common misconceptions: that Claude Shannon said that the meanings of signals are irrelevant for communication theory (he didn{\textquotesingle}t and they aren{\textquotesingle}t), and that since correlational measures can{\textquotesingle}t distinguish representations from natural signs, communication theory can{\textquotesingle}t distinguish them either (the premise is true but the conclusion is false; no valid argument can link them).}},
