Well, on the surface, that would seem intuitively true. However, there is a notion sociology, that goes by many different names, known as the Knowledge-Information Paradox. The idea is that we have more information at the touch of our fingers today than at any other time in history, but the paradox is is that with SO MUCH information, it's becoming harder and harder to ascertain the truth. Look at how we can't even agree on reality today. There is no issue that doesn't conjure up alternative views of reality, completely divorced from reality.
I'm a huge believer in it and simply call it, TMI. We have too much information, in my view.
