I had added this as a comment to another question about what the site should consider an on-topic question and encouraged by others thought it merited its own question.
Given that Claude Shannon seemed to consider himself in the field of signal processing, will/should the community consider the broader range of information theory questions as on-topic?
I've found that those with backgrounds in signal processing will often have clearer insights to broader information theory questions than more general mathematicians or statisticians.
Thoughts?
