"Information" is consciousness without personality isn't it? Say you see a Van Gogh - you don't process it as pure information - you understand it together with trying to understand the personality that created it. Memories of you held by your loved ones you wouldn't describe as information without feelings attached would you?
I think Wooters point is just that thought/ mind processes aren't physical. They use a physical transport, and are generated and amplified physically. Anyone would be incorrect in asserting that thoughts had to be material, which seems to be clearly true to me.
