 Another measure of information content is \(cont(g) = 1 - P(g)\) (Hintikka 1968). If we choose \(u(g, h_{j}) = cont(g)\), then the expected utility \(U(g\mid e) = 1 - P(g)\) is maximized by a contradiction, as the probability of a contradictory sentence is zero. Any false theory can be improved by adding new falsities to it. Again we see that information content alone does not give a good definition of scientific progress. The same remark can be made about explanatory and systematic power.
