If this is a discussion of Worden's paper, then you seem to have missed that he is not talking about information, but rather "Genetic Information in the Phenotype" - which is actually a completely different concept.
How so?
For instance:
"GIP is a measure of how much the observed values i in a large population tend to cluster on a few values; if there is no clustering, Gµ=0, and if there is complete clustering on one value, Gµ= log2(Nµ). It is a property of the population, not of an individual."
