I see. Using “signal” and “noise” figuratively here, I ran the risk of being understood that way. But to be clear: I do not regard explanations and illustrations as “noise”, because they help understand the signal. The book has a lot of text that is counterproductive and has, in my opinion, a very loose relation with the concepts Taleb (presumably) aims to explain.
