there's no such thing as information.

Landauer demonstrated that erasing a bit releases heat. If information is fiction, implies that energy is fiction too?

I think their point was that there is no empirical definition of information as it relates to the observer. The expurimint you cite worked upon a physical system that already had a state prior to the expurimint.

If everything is information, then nothing is.

A disordered system still has state. You just don't know what it is.
