Distinct meaning?
The analogy you used pertaining to music seems to explain the problem with how meaning is presented. It reminds me of the class that we had to listen to two different types of music, one being classical and the other being punk rock, and were advised to present our thoughts on them. Based on the class experiment, I think we ended up concluding that information that has unclear content could be decoded differently depending on the decoder. Therefore, the "distinct meaning" does not play an important role when it is too difficult for the general public to reach a consensus for the distinct meaning.
