When someone communicates in a way that actively reduces the amount of information in existence. Usually occurs when a person talks for a long time, uses many words, and yet leaves everyone else knowing less than they did before the speaking began. Unlike misinformation, nothing said has to be wrong; it just erases understanding. Commonly observed in meetings, presentations, emails, and “quick explanations”.
