    OK I don’t think information theory is actually needed for that. Just a bit of above average intelligence apparently.
    Yes it’s true some use the term entropy, instead of just the statistical amount of combinations, and obviously forcing a special character instead of just having it as an option, makes the number of possibilities lower, decreasing the uncertainty, which they then choose to call entropy. Which counter intuitively IMO is called increased entropy.
