Informacja jako narzędzie – wybrane aspekty historyczne
Information as a tool – selected historic aspects

Summary/Abstract: Exchanging information is a characteristic feature of people. However, different points of view, imperfection of perception and different assessment of relative significance of events cause that every or almost every piece of information includes some, even the smallest piece of disinformation. Can scientific information be treated as an exception? After all, it follows from Heisenberg’s indeterminate principle that the will of detailed recognition of some phenomenon requires such interference into it (with measurement apparatus and research equipment) which in a sense deforms the examined phenomenon and misinforms the researcher. Similarly, the Euclid’s postulate is in some way misleading. It is so because information is inherently misleading. You cannot look at yourself in a mirror without a certain amount of disinformation. The quality of a sheet of glass, your eyesight, lighting and your mood deform your perception. After all, the point is information which should be as objective as it is possible, because it is purposed for your own use. When you turn to somebody else, your own mistakes are multiplied by the person and so on.
