> There's your metaphor. No, it’s not. That’s the definition, much like information theoretic death is death. Here is a metaphor: from our perspective on a street, we cannot perceive anything within a manhole, just like from outside a black hole we cannot perceive anything inside it. Here is not a metaphor: a black hole is a hole in space, with a singularity inside of it. |

Information theoretic 'death' implies actual death (assuming I understand your 'death' metaphor in 'information theoretic death' ), but that's not the same as being it.

No, you've just removed the linguistic cues for introducing a metaphor, while still making as heavy use of metaphor as ever.
