Re: [docs-and-reports] Principle: Don't use Entropy (#4)

Hey Martin, thanks for writing this blog post. Can you clarify exactly what you are proposing here? The blog post goes into a lot of other details other than a critique of the entropy statistic (in fact, it argues we shouldn't look at any single statistic).

Are you open e.g. to using entropy (or a similar, non-worst case measures) _in addition to other_ privacy measures? This is how we are thinking of things like attribution measurement, where both entropy/information gain is a useful "at-scale privacy" metric to us in addition to things like differential privacy which are worst-case.
