Is Information more fundamental (important) than Matter or Energy?

FYI: 'Inside knowledge: Is information the only thing that exists?
Physics suggests information is more fundamental than matter, energy, space and time – the problems start when we try to work out what that means...

Could information be the fundamental "stuff" of the universe?

Hmm. Information is more fundamental than energy? We have some doubts...

Is it all about energy and what we can observe (data/information) about energy?

Yes! Give us all the energy of the universe, and we will find all the information about it.

However, if we have all the information of our universe, then that preassumes we have all the energy...

Information about something does not imply its possession (i.e. all energy of the universe)!

Hence, if we have all the information about our universe, then that preassumes we know about all the energy of our universe.

Moreover, all information is energy. Nothing exists without energy. All is energy! And therefore, energy is more fundamental/important than information.

Oops! It could be that information is more important than energy!
