I am somewhat amused that you linked to the same post on which we are currently commenting. Was that intentional?

Actually, no! There have been kinda-parallel discussions of entropy, information, probability, etc., here and in the Open Thread, and I hadn't been paying much attention to which one this was.

Anyway, same post or no, it's as good a place as any to point someone to for a clarification of what notion of temperature I had in mind.
