I think it's about context. If I say "order pizza" a ton of information is transferred via shared environmental context. I'm not transferring information directly but manipulating contextual levers to map certain types of information.

An example is if I say something to you in say japanese, I also need to teach you japanese in the same phrase unless there is shared context. computers run on a very impotent form of language, logic, that is rigorous and general purpose but has no "escape hatch". (basically the sentiment of Godem, Escher, Bach with regards to rigorous systems. )

Oh ok you're talking about data compression. That's also not what efficiency means, in a strict sense.
